Our inclusive Horse Summer Camp involves crafts, games, and time riding our therapy horses! We are looking for volunteers with previous horse experience to help with leading horses during the mounted part of camp. We are also looking for people to help out at our crafts station!
Volunteering at Ivy Hill offers community members the unique opportunity to connect with our therapy horses, and clients. We serve individuals of all ages with physical, cognitive, neurological, and psychological disabilities.
Our camp runs throughout the summer. Volunteering opportunities can be once a week, or full weeks.

Description

What do we offer?
We offer customized horsemanship and therapeutic horseback riding instruction, as well as Hippotherapy (physical therapy utilizing the movement of the horse) to individuals of all ages with cognitive, emotional or physical challenges.

Why are therapeutic riding and hippotherapy benificial?
The interaction between humans and horses has recognizable therapeutic benefits.
