Equestrian I (ages 9 to 15)

- One-week program

The one week Equestrian program is designed with new or beginner riders in mind. Campers review the basics of horse care and stable management in daily ground lessons. Riders are tested for skill level and assigned to a group lesson with campers of similar abilities. Each rider is assigned his/her own horse and given daily mounted instruction on the basics of English riding including but not limited to basic control at the walk, trot, canter, an introduction to jumping and trail.

Equestrian I campers also participate in traditional camp activities daily:

  • Daily pool time
  • Archery
  • Marksmanship
  • Arts and crafts
  • Rock wall
  • Cookout night on an open campfire
  • Exciting camp-wide evening activities
  • A trip to Doe Valley for additional water front activities

The session is completed with a magical, final campfire ceremony where campers are recognized for their participation and accomplishments.

  • Session 1 June 6-11 — $600

Equestrian II (ages 10 to 16)

- Two-week program

For those campers who are interested in further developing their riding skills, the Equestrian II program is ideal. The Equestrian II camper will further develop their skills at the walk, trot, canter and over fences. They will supplement their learning with daily ground lessons in horse care and stable management. Equestrian II riders also benefit from 2 additional afternoon riding lessons per week.

Equestrian two-weekers stay through the weekend for more extreme experiences. Campers will have opportunities to challenge themselves on the high ropes and zipline, mountain boards, and mountain scooters. On Sunday, Equestrian II campers travel to the local lake for canoeing, swimming and the new water trampoline!

A second week of lessons gives riders additional time to work on their riding skills. Newly added in 2008, campers help plan, pack and then ride on an overnight trail experience, sleeping under the stars with their horse!
