Camp Liberty. Inc is dedicated to the memory of

SPC Kyle Thomas Yerian, United States Army.

Robert, U.S. Army Veteran

"Camp Liberty has been a tremendous support system for me in my journey. Could not have a better group of guys to help each other.

It is truly a brotherhood."

SSGT Murray, USAF (Retired)

"You've done more than I could believe. I was stuck in limbo trying to find a purpose in life after the military. I connected with Camp Liberty and now I have back the ethos I lost."

EQUINE ASSISTED ACTIVITIES (EAA)

​Equine-Assisted Activities (EAA) utilize the unique horse-human partnership as a catalyst for personal growth and holistic wellness. By engaging in structured, ground-based interactions, participants develop essential life skills, including non-verbal communication, emotional regulation, leadership, and assertive problem-solving.

 

The Camp Liberty Approach:

​

At Camp Liberty, Inc., our EAA sessions are designed to provide immediate, objective feedback. Because horses are highly perceptive, they mirror a participant's internal state, allowing individuals to gain real-time insight into their own behaviors and emotional responses. This experiential process fosters self-awareness and promotes the development of healthy, sustainable life skills.

​

  • Key Activities: Our sessions include observational exercises, grooming, handling, and ground-work, all conducted in a safe, mutually respectful environment.​

​

  • Core Outcomes: Participants report significant improvements in self-confidence, interpersonal communication, and overall emotional well-being.​​

OUR PROGRAMS

Ground-Based Activities:

Focus on communication and trust without the pressure of riding. By working from the ground, participants build confidence, emotional regulation, and autonomy at their own pace.​

​

Therapeutic Horseback Riding:

More than just horseback riding—our mounted sessions harness the physical and emotional power of horsemanship to build lasting confidence, independence, and connection.​​​​

​

Our seasonal programs operate from June through September. Sessions are available in both individual and group formats to best meet participant needs.
