Horse camps
Time with horses. Confidence that grows.
Our horse camps bring together riding, hands-on horse care, and farm activities in an engaging learning environment. Campers practice new skills, build friendships, and discover the responsibility and enjoyment of caring for horses.

Our biggest—and best—summer camp season yet.
This summer, 323 children joined us for camp, making 2026 our biggest season ever. We are deeply grateful to every family who trusted us and every camper who brought their curiosity, courage and joy to the barn.
We truly enjoyed getting to know each child, watching confidence and friendships grow, and creating memories together that we will treasure long after summer.

Safety and supervision
How we handle safety and supervision.
How do you keep track of campers?
Our staff checks attendance and counts campers throughout the day. Pickup is limited to authorized adults, and identification is required.
What support is available?
The program maintains first-aid readiness and on-site support. Park rangers are available on the property during Ridley Creek camp hours.
How are schedule changes communicated?
Schedule changes and important program updates are communicated by email. In an emergency, we contact families by phone or text.
What conduct is required?
Campers must follow staff instructions and safe conduct rules. Unsafe or violent behavior may result in immediate dismissal from camp and pickup by an authorized adult. No refund will be issued when a camper is dismissed for conduct.
Registration and payment

The details below apply to the completed 2026 season. Future camp dates, rates, and registration terms will be announced separately.
Submit the current form for the selected child and week.
Our team reviews each registration and confirms whether a suitable space is available.
Once a registration is approved, we email an invoice.
A $200 deposit secures the approved place.
The remaining balance is due before the registered week as stated on the invoice and reminder.
Missed days are not refunded because the camper’s place remains reserved.
The deposit is nonrefundable but may be transferable to another available week when the farm receives at least 30 days’ notice.
