Come join us for a day of fun down on the farm in June! We are offering educational day camps at Mickelsen Family farm beginning on June 8th. These camps will run from 9 am until 1pm and host an array of fun & educational activities. Activities will include:
- learning to feed, tack (saddle up), and care for horses.
- each child will be instructed on horseback riding basics and be given a ride with a one on one horseback riding coach. (small ponies will be used for small children & large horses for older children)
- feeding chickens & gathering eggs
- rabbit races
- feeding & learning about cows
- creating a "cowboy craft" with horseshoes to take home as a memento from the day
- participating in cowboy games (including learning how to use a lasso)
Also, at the end of the activities lunch will be provided with a dutch oven & barbecue cook out!
Here are the camps we are currently offering:
June 8th -- Little Cowboys & Cowgirls (ages 5-8)
June 9th -- Intermediate Cowboys & Cowgirls (ages 9-11)
June 10th -- Advanced Cowboys & Cowgirls (ages 12-13) *** advanced camp will be very horse intensive and may not include some of the other activities listed above.
All camps are $20 per child, due the morning of. If you are interesting in reserving your spot or if you have any questions, please email us at:

We are offering limited camp sizes, so spots will be given on a first come first serve basis. If you are interested in attending a Down on the Farm Day Camp, but these dates do not work for you, we will be offering other camps later this summer. If you are interested, contact us and we will email you as new camps are announced or just check back on our website!
