Educational Activities
Nature Class

This year, The Centre Equestre Nature is delight to offer a " Nature Class". In accordance with the Mistry of Education requirements in Natural Science, we suggest,  during the course of a day's activities, to continue the learning objectives of the school: i.e., the total development of the child.

To attain this goal, we propose to them to partake in activities based on simple values, autonomy, sharing and mutual respect of  nature and animals. Our approach is aimed at   helping the youngsters to share experiences and interactions which gives them the opportunity to surpass their capacities and to succeed; hence they became the principal participants in their development.

So, through contact with horses ( favoured medium) and organized activities, the youngsters are induced to develop their concentration, their sense of responsabilities, self-esteem and self-confidence.

Sample schedule

For each group, we prepare a "made to measure" program for school groups or others, from April to June and from September to November.
