Living in Alberta we get such limited time of the year where it’s enjoyable to be outdoors. During the Summer we take every opportunity we can to soak in the beautiful weather including which Summer camps we choose. One incredible camp where you get to enjoy the warm weather, learn a new skill (or build on one), and spend time with animals is Clip Clop Horseback Riding Camp. Their wonderful Summer programs are one of the best and we are so excited to share what you can expect.
