US Horse Welfare & Rescue is a nonprofit horse rescue, sanctuary, and facility offering both adult and youth programs in a serene, tranquil environment tucked away upon Nod Hill in Avon. Since 2016 US Horse Welfare & Rescue has offered summer programs that enrich the lives of youth with knowledge and life skills while providing them with a fun and entertaining experience. Campers embark on an exciting journey of discovery, filled with diverse activities that go beyond the beloved horseback riding and horsemanship.

Exploratory nature hikes to the river and around the expansive 20-acre farm provide opportunities to observe wildlife and connect with the great outdoors. Equestrian experiences include horseback riding, fun obstacle courses, feeding, grooming, tacking up, and learning essential horsemanship skills like basic equine first aid and therapeutic treatments for these very special equines. Campers develop responsibility, teamwork, and leadership skills through barn management activities.

Beyond the barn, creativity and fun flourish with arts and crafts, team-building exercises, and outdoor activities like “beach” volleyball in our white sand arena, yoga, and gardening. With every day carefully designed to foster confidence, friendships, and lifelong skills, campers enjoy a well-rounded, unforgettable summer experience.

Adventures on the Farm offers the perfect blend of maximum hands-on time with horses and a diverse range of enriching activities. Its indoor facilities ensure the excitement never stops, rain or shine, making every day a celebration of summer, learning, and connection. Designed for children ages six and up, the program warmly welcomes both Newbie horse enthusiasts and seasoned riders, creating unforgettable experiences for every skill level with our highly skilled trainers.

Highly experienced equestrians and well-trained counselors oversee the camp.
