Dates:
Monday, July 29th - Friday, August 2nd, 2024. Camp runs from 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM daily.
Registration:
Registration for this sports camp is now open through CampDocs.
The Program:
This camp is designed for campers ages 8-13 who have prior horse experience and/or have completed our Beginner's Equestrian (First Touch) camp. English (Hunter/Jumper) instruction will be the main focus with some Western riding incorporated throughout the week.
- Campers are assigned a horse to ride during the week and are also involved with the hands-on care for that horse
- Each camper has one session of riding each day
- When campers are not involved in riding they will be busy with arts and crafts projects and other recreational activities as well as learning stable management skills
- A horse show will be held at the end of the day on Friday so campers can demonstrate for their families the skills they learned throughout the week
- Campers may bring their own horse if desired (should this be the case, campers must notify the Director prior to attending)
