SUMMER CAMP FAQ’s:

Q: What is the age range for campers?

A: We accept campers age 5 and up

Q: What if my child does not have any riding experience?

A: All of our camp days, except for Advanced Camp, are beginner friendly – no experience necessary!

Q: What should my child wear to camp?

A: All campers should wear long pants and shoes with a square heel (think of the heel on a rubber rainboot, cowboy boot, or ladies ‘riding’ style boots). Campers cannot participate unless they have appropriate footwear for safety reasons. Any type of sandal, open toe or sneakers are NOT acceptable.

Q: What should my child bring to camp?

A: Please be sure to send your camper with sunscreen and sufficient water or other beverages. A water cooler is available on the premises but we do NOT stock cups – so please send at least one water bottle with them. Sending a change of clothes is a good idea in case it is very hot and water games are part of the activities.

Q: How much riding is included in the camp?

A: With the exception of advanced camp, each camper will have one structured riding lesson per day, and usually another less structured riding session.

Q: What kind of activities are included other than riding?

A: Other activities include, but are not limited to: Learning horse body parts/colors/markings, learning to groom and tack a horse, outdoor games, crafts.

Q: Are parents permitted to attend camp?

A: Parents are welcome to volunteer during camp (see volunteer signup) however horse experience is required. We ask that parents are not present during riding sessions as we have found that it is counter-productive.
