Camp & Events
Summer Youth Camp
By popular request, camp runs for a half day from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm to allow for other non-horsey activities. To get a real flavor of what our program is about, please visit us on Facebook or Instagram.
We will be offering both one- and two-week Horse Camp sessions that will incorporate mounted horse games, horse management lessons, and crafts. And everyone will be introduced to the techniques of Horse Whispering. Our program is particularly unusual as we have a staff ratio of one staff to two campers and only take 8 campers per session!
Students must have appropriate gear for riding – an ASTM approved riding helmet, riding pants, and paddock boots (short riding boots). Enrollment is restricted to students 7 years of age and above.
Although certainly not mandatory, we encourage all campers to join our US Pony Club Center, and become internationally accredited in riding and horse management. Persons young (at least 5) and old may join our Pony Club Center program which teaches "sportsmanship, stewardship, and leadership through horsemanship." For more information, visit our Pony Club page, go to ponyclub.org, or call the Farm at (203) 938-3760.
