What to expect
Our goal is to provide an enjoyable outdoor experience with horses and nature, an opportunity to learn and make friends, and a stress free place to unwind and be a child. Our number one concern is safety both physically and emotionally. We have a ratio of about 2 staff persons for every 5 children.
No experience necessary! Kids will spend time learning how to safely be around horses, about bonding and communication, petting and brushing them, riding on a lead-line or independently depending on skill level. Lessons will also include groundwork exercises.
Each session will be a small group not only for safety, but also to help us customize the experience and make sure it's enjoyable for everyone. Everyone always gets help with the horses.
Besides riding and horse care lessons, we also play games, do crafts, go on nature hikes, cool off in the sprinkler or explore the creek with lots of supervision. Older kids have the evening option to include a traditional campfire setting but still do not spend the night.
Rates are weekly. See above for prices. $50/week deposit holds a spot with the balance due by 1st day of session. Call or message for more details and sign up now!
Additional Information
Please do not send your child with any symptoms such as runny nose, cough, fever, sore throat, vomiting, etc. Although we do not issue refunds, will be happy to issue you a credit that can be used for a different camp session or future private riding lessons. Thank you for helping everyone have the best possible summer experience.
