Adult camp -- A weekend camp that has been hugely popular with the different focuses and offerings each time.  Topics have included gymnastic jumping, dressage, trailer loading,  hoof care, conformation,  Tai Chi, massage therapy for horses and lots more.
German Exchange camp --   2004 saw 8 teenagers from Germany travel to Hickory to attend 2 special weeks of horse camp at F.E.C.  These girls lived with host families (of F.E.C. Students). They spent their days learning horsemanship skills, competed at a hunter horse show, and afternoons/evenings were a chance to experience American culture (bowling, movies, swimming in Lake Hickory, visit to the mall, the mountains).  A very unique and exciting experience for all involved.
