The goal for Duke Farm kids camp is for youngsters to safely learn good horsemanship and animal husbandry while having a great time on a family-oriented farm. Activities and programs also teach responsibility, cooperation, courage and self-esteem. New friends, positive values, personal growth, great adventures, and OUTRAGEOUS FUN are the foundations of the Duke Farm experience! This program is designed to provide instruction which will enable all students to gain confidence and precision in working with horses and other animals under a wide range of conditions.
