The classes run from Feburary 27 through April 15.
Students register for one class (ie., Monday at 4) and attend once a week for 7 weeks. The classes are 45 minutes in length and cover water safety, basic swimming and survival skills. Children will be evaluated and given a progress report at the end of the session.

Don't worry you won't have to get off your horse - the eggs and bottles will be hanging on trees within your grasp!
*Children OF ALL AGES will have a blast on a 15 minute hand-led ride on one of our safe horses/ponies through our woods for their chance to spot easter eggs hidden all through the woods! Their eggs contain chocolate, candy, and little toys.
