Summer Camp Trots in with New Equestrian Program

WASHINGTON, CT (June 14, 2004) - Glenholme is proud to offer Connecticut's youth an unique summer enrichment experience. The Glenholme School is inviting young people of Northwest Connecticut to partake in this year's Summer Arts Adventure featuring a new Equestrian Camp. In its sixth year, Glenholme's Summer Arts Adventure is expanding upon its unique performance and fine arts experience with an Equestrian summer camp. Young people ages 9-12 can choose to attend the Equestrian camp in the morning, Fine and Performing Arts in the afternoon, or both. Two weeklong sessions are available beginning July 5-9 and July 12-16.

Summer Arts Adventure participants are able to explore their creative and horsemanship talents on Glenholme's 100 acre campus encompassing the core values every family is committed to: those of respect, fairness, responsibility, honesty, kindness, and community service.

The morning Equestrian camp includes:
Horsemanship, anatomy and physiology of the horse, stable management and horseback riding. Certified instructors provide introductory lessons or intermediate riding skills to camp participants.

"We provide our community with the opportunity to participate in a safe, comprehensive equestrian summer camp and assist them in developing riding and horsemanship skills," explains Equestrian Program Coordinator, Heather Perssonatti. "Our participants will have a meaningful and educating experience that will inspire them to leave the program with a higher level of respect and deeper appreciation for the equine and equestrian world."

The afternoon Fine and Performing Arts camp features:
Creating short plays based upon classic and students' original works of art. The paintings come alive through characterization, comedy and drama for a final performance on the last day of camp. Classes are taught by master teaching artists of theatre and fine art.

Robin Ruhf, Summer Arts Coordinator states, "Summer Arts Adventure offers participants the opportunity to work with other young artists in creating works of art together in an inspiring setting."
