Do you have to work through the kid's Spring Break? Are you looking for ways to get their energy out? Here are a few of our locally run Spring Break Camps in the Ventura County Area.

Ojai & Santa Paula

in Santa Paula

March 30 - April 3 9am-1pm
Learn to ride and care for the horses, collaborate and create Waldorf inspired nature and craft projects during our week.

Each day we begin as one, reviewing safety and connecting through games and activities. We care for the horses and ponies and learn to groom, tack and have a riding lesson. We also get to spend time with the bunnies, rats, pigs, chickens, cats and dogs!
Ages 5-14
Our programs are led by certified Waldorf teachers and expert riding instructors.
