Here at Camp Tonkawa, we provide educational group programs for Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, American Heritage, Homeschoolers as well as individuals and families. Our horses allow us to offer classes for horsemanship badges and other programs such as our Horse Clubs, and overnight camps that give children and teens, ages 6 and up, get a chance to learn new skills and improve their horsemanship. Horses help build confidence, a sense of responsibility, and compassion in kids and adults a like.
Horses also help attract new people to be part of our camp, and in the process, they learn we also provide classes for so much more. Alongside our horsemanship programs, we offer nature immersion classes for topics such as basic camping, nature awareness, Native American cultural camps, and primitive survival knowledge.
We offer hands-on outdoor adventure for students, ranging from single classes to groups of 100 or more for private or public school trips. This past summer, we were able to host a summer camp for foster kids from Sherman, and give them a chance to experience nature, have fun and learn new skills. We would love to grow and continue our community outreach.
