This week-long summer program for middle school students (ages 11-14) will focus on building resilience and mindfulness skills, connecting with peers, interacting with horses, and enjoying our outdoor environment. Activities will include the basics of horsemanship and horse care, arts and crafts, games, nature walks, gardening, discussion, and team-building with peers. Sessions are facilitated by licensed therapists, horse handlers, and volunteers. Special guests include horsemanship leaders, NCEFT’s Director of Equine Operations, and outdoor specialists. No horse experience is required.

Program Details:

  • Group will be limited to 8-10 participants.
  • A member of NCEFT’s Mental Health and Resilience team will schedule a brief initial evaluation with each applicant to determine eligibility.
  • Cost is $875 per participant. Financial assistance is available for those who qualify (click FAQ button below for more information about Financial Assistance).

NCEFT: HORSES. HOPE. HEALING.

Horses. Hope. Healing. Three simple words that, when combined, have the power to transform lives. NCEFT is centered around helping people. We are about compassion, inclusiveness, and offering the highest level of service to those in need. We do this by harnessing the unique connection between horses and humans. NCEFT is also about community. Many of our clients and families describe NCEFT as a place that feels like home with people who feel like family.
