Our one week Equestrian Camp is designed for campers who want to learn more about horsemanship, including grooming, saddling and horse handling techniques. Campers participate in trainings to enhance their riding skills and learn trotting, cantering, obstacles and other advanced techniques.

In addition to learning about horses, campers also get to experience many of the camp traditions including camp games, swimming and building friendships. Accommodations for the 13-16 year olds are in original rustic camp cabins and a centralized bathhouse with restrooms and showers.
