Camp Questions and Answers

Is Marmon Valley Ministries Accredited? Yes, we are accredited by the American Camping Association. ACA requires a site review every three years to maintain certification. Marmon Valley also certified horsemanship instructors through CCHI and CHA.

What time is check-in on Sunday? Plan to check in between 5:00PM and 6:00PM Sunday afternoon. Registration for the 5 Day camp starts at the same time. Please note that registration hours are later this year than past summers! We are happy to push check-in back a bit this summer in order to give our counselors some extra and much needed rest!

When do I pick my kids up on Saturday? Camp concludes with a 10:00AM Parents Program in the stable area. If it rains we will have an abbreviated program in the indoor arena.

Can my child call me during the week? Campers receive email and snail mail each day, but they do not have access to telephones during camp.

What is a CHA Riding Level? CHA the Certified Horsemanship Association is a horsemanship education organization that offers industry standards in horsemanship education and criteria for horseback riding levels. Marmon Valley Ministries employs their riding level structure and staffs each class with either CHA or CCHI certified instructors. Campers who have not had formal riding lessons prior to attending camp (and we welcome that) should mark level 1 on their form. Campers who are new to Marmon Valley but have taken riding lessons prior to attending the Farm are often placed in level 1 because the many times riding lessons outside Marmon Valley do not cover grooming, saddling and bridling nor do they tend to focus on basic horse sense and safety, both of which are critical to our program. Please note that students with prior experience are always evaluated during their first riding class and moved to an appropriate class if the instructors believe they would be better suited at a higher (or lower) level. If you believe your child is higher than a level 1 rider but has not camped before you are welcome to call us and discuss the best option. First time campers wishing to be in Equestrian Camp or Horsin' Around Pro must come for an evaluation ride prior to summer camp to have their horsemanship rated by our instructors.
