Farwell Associates

It's so wonderful to see her looking forward to going back to Farwell with such enthusiasm. Charyl and Bob Hanson (formerly school teachers) are the owners and directors of Camp Farwell and are looking forward to their 43rd summer at Farwell. Marley Hanson, Charyl and Bob's daughter, is a year-round director at Camp Farwell.

I would like to take this time to thank you both for experience and character you have both instilled in my heart. I was never meant to love camp, it was only a means to an end. It was serendipity, and it became a part of me. You made me who I am today, through the tears, and the laughter, crazy Vermont lightning, and rain splattered guitars, I will always be grateful for what you have done in my life.

Campers choose their own activities each week and follow that schedule Monday through Friday. There are five activity periods in a typical day-three in the morning and two in the afternoon. Some activities are grouped by age, some by ability and other groups are mixed to include different ages and abilities.

I can hear it in her voice how much more she is shining and I know that it is because of Camp Farwell! I am forever in your debt. We have two types of typical days-activity days and arena days. Activity days occur 5 times a week and are usually on Monday through Friday. Arena days happen on the other two days of the week and these are usually Saturday and Sunday.

The Camp Farwell horseback riding program offers the highest level of instruction in the camping profession. Our classes and activities are crafted for all ability and interest levels. For many campers, horseback riding is just one of many activities they participate in each day.

However, for campers with a keener interest in riding, they have the option to participate in more than one period of horseback riding as well as other activities offered by our equestrian center.And for those "horse-crazy" campers who are absolutely passionate about horseback riding and horses, they can elect to spend their full day up at our Equestrian Center involved in both horseback riding and other horse related activities.
