as the cabins do book up quickly especially in the summer time.
This opportunity is available all year.
Calamus Outfitters now has a small indoor arena,
Camps at Calamus Outfitters Ranch near Burwell, NE vary according to how many participants.
Keep scrolling down the page for more information or
Go to individual camp pages for prices
See Youth Camps
See Women's Camp
Prices are negotiable depending on # of participants, travel expense, arena rental fees, etc.
All prices are subject to change because my expenses vary and sharing knowledge is extremely fulfilling. I help others improve their horsemanship because I love great horse stories and bettered lives. I believe everyone should be able to ride and communicate with even more safety and excellence.
While helping others achieve their dreams, I keep learning as well, and find my dreams coming true. Teaching, studying, writing, practicing my own horsemanship, and trying to figure out marketing in-between travel time round out my days. So I am very busy. If you need my help I'll try to fit you in. I'll help people struggling for free some times, but I've often found if people don't pay, they usually don't value the work.
Sometimes my sharing is free and other times I charge. If I were independently wealthy I would do this for free, because I love it so much.
If you can't afford me, please remember I understand, and if you research the market you will find my prices very competitive. There is plenty more training I would also like to have and can't afford at this time. I am working hard to save for more training and education because I know I will benefit greatly from it. I'm 20 years into my teaching career. I've made money as a teacher, horse trainer, saleswoman, vet assistant, outfitter, hunting or trail guide and just about any other kind of job you can name. I think all that blood, sweat and toil should be rewarded.
Still, I pay attention to the "little guy" and often help out people for nothing. I just don't do it when they appeal to me as a victim upfront. When I see a great need with desire I often get quite generous. So in other words my prices are flexible. Bottom line, cost varies with expenses and travel time. I also offer discounts to repeat students and early bird sign ups for clinics.
Hope to see you soon,
Sherry Jarvis
Most facilities require that horses be current on all vaccinations.
Health papers or coggins are normally only required for horses coming from out of the state.
