In the enchanted state of Maine, nestled between the whispering pines and the misty mountains, you'll find the most extraordinary children you'll ever encounter. These aren't just any kids. They're the gallant Horse Back Heroes, the bravest, kindest, and funniest bunch of kiddos you can imagine! Meet their leader, Jolly Jumper, a magical, talking horse with a twinkling eye and a hearty laugh. He has a knack for telling the nuttiest jokes, his favorite being, "Why don't horses use Facebook? Because they can't hit the keyboard with their hooves!" He would chuckle at his own jokes, making everyone around him laugh too. The Horse Back Heroes are not just about giggles and guffaws, they are excellent horseback riders as well. Mornings are spent grooming their gentle equine friends, with each stroke of the brush creating a connection deeper than words. Afternoons are for riding, each child perched atop their horse, exploring the breathtaking Maine landscape, their laughter echoing over the mountains. Their bond with their horses is magical. From thundering through the velvety blueberry fields to galloping along the rugged coastline, these kids have adventures every day that would make the bravest knight envious. But it's not all horseplay; they learn about responsibility, care, and love for these magnificent creatures. Through hail or high water, the Horse Back Heroes of Maine never lose their sense of humor or their love for adventure. As Jolly Jumper always tells them, "Riding a horse is not merely about getting from point A to point B; it's about the giggles, the whoops, and the neighs along the way!"

Research has shown that a sense of belonging is essential for the healthy development of self-esteem and resilience in children. Camp provides a unique environment for children to form meaningful bonds and important connections with their peers and counselors. Through the close relationships they build, campers learn the key skills needed for healthy social and emotional development, like communication, teamwork, problem solving, and conflict resolution. At Fernwood, we believe that a sense of belonging is the single most powerful force in life that promotes health, joy and morality. Our camp experience allows and teaches children how to connect on a deeper level, fostering emotional growth and enabling them to live more “joyful” lives. We know that camp is an essential part of a child’s journey to becoming a happy and well-adjusted adult.
