Hey, kids! If you're between the ages for 6 and 13 and are crazy about horses, the Hearts and Hooves Day Camp is the place for you! Come experience one day of animalistic fun guaranteed to get your tail flipping! This session will give your child plenty of hands-on experiences combined with interesting educational opportunities.
Due to the nature of our rescued horses, campers will not be permitted to ride the horses.

We have limited this camp to one session with 12 campers total.
We hire certified classroom teachers.
Our camp teachers are all certified in CPR, First Aid, Epi-Pens, and AED. They will ensure safety of the children first, but also ensure the parent/guardian is contacted/informed of what is taking place.
Please remember applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. We cannot hold any spots for potential campers. A refund for this camp will ONLY be provided if given at least two weeks' notice, but will be charged a $30 cancellation fee.
No. Due to the background of the horses that come through the Nebraska Humane Society, these horses are not able to be ridden. However there will be horse exposure and activities involving horses during the camp.
Campers should be dropped off to the Center for Humane Education no earlier than 5 minutes prior to the start of camp. Campers must be accompanied by an adult to sign them into camp. Camp staff are not responsible for campers until they are signed in by the adult accompanying them. Campers mus be picked up and sign out by an adult immediately after camp concludes. Late pick-ups will be charged a fee of $1.00 per minute after 5 minutes. Thank you for your cooperation.
Campers are required to wear closed-toed shoes and long pants for camp. We understand it may be warm outside, so we ask that camper bring a water bottle with their name that can be refilled throughout the day. Additionally, there will be a lunch break during camp. Due to this, campers will need to bring a sack lunch marked with their name on it. Lunches can be kept in our classroom refrigerator; however, we do ask that all lunches be peanut and tree nut free. There will be many outdoor activities, due to this, please apply sunscreen prior to attending camp.
