Ranch Camp: Ages 9-13

Ranch Camp provides a unique setting for campers to enjoy a traditional camp experience with an equestrian focus.

The one thing everyone has in common is the love and enjoyment of riding and working with horses. Each riding group will have the opportunity for multiple rides during the session.

There are 6-8 riders per group, with two instructors and an assistant present. Riding groups are determined by both age and ability. Our safe program provides instruction, fun and challenge to everyone from the first-time riders to those with years of experience.

Our Western style lessons teach riders to ride in a balanced seat emphasizing self-awareness, effective use of the body and understanding of the horse. This “all purpose” approach will not only prompt better riding but also a more harmonious relationship between horses and riders of all disciplines and levels of experience.

Please note, Ranch Camp features one-week experiences to allow for a more concentrated focus on equestrian skills.

*Ranch Camp no longer counts toward years of camper attendance, meaning Ranch campers will not receive attendance awards.
