Equestrian Camps Full-Day Horsemanship Camp

Half-Day Classic Equestrian Camp

Campers of all levels will improve their horsemanship and riding skills while making new friends who share their passion for horses. This camp emphasizes teamwork by pairing campers together to take care of their assigned horse.

This classic equestrian camp allows campers more one-on-one time with horses while they learn how to care for and connect with their assigned horse – in the saddle and from the ground. Campers will have opportunities to make friends, progress their riding, and learn the importance of high-quality horse care. Campers will play games, develop new skills, and build confidence as well as new friendships. Campers have the option to participate in water activities on Thursday with the extended-day option. Each camp week will end with a skilldemonstration horse show on Friday for each camper’s family to see all they learned!

Rising 3rd–Rising 9th Grade All Riding Levels

This camp will focus on horsemanship both in and out of the saddle. With the extended days, campers will learn more about the ins and outs of horse ownership, herd management, basic vet care, groundwork, equine anatomy, and color and breed characteristics. These campers will have a well-rounded camp experience with additional time for crafts and games in the afternoons. This camp is about developing your campers into horseman and horsewoman in all aspects of horse care and collaboration – not just time in the saddle. Campers will also enjoy lots of cool-down activities including painting and bathing horses, slip-n-slide, and the pool (as weather allows). We will end the week with a skill-demonstration horse show on Friday for each camper’s family to see all they learned! This will take place mid-day and you will have the option to check-out your camper at the end of the show or for them to stay until the end of the camp day.
