NOT YOUR TYPICAL SUMMER CAMP

Registration for 2026 begins January 1, 2026

Each week at our horseback riding summer day camp in New Hampshire focuses around a theme. We have designed a program consisting of five Levels in which the campers learn about proper horsemanship and develop their riding skills while they also study horse terminology, history, first aid and more!

On the first day of camp each camper receives a notebook containing all the information they need to learn in order to complete the first level. Both riding and horsemanship goals are set and throughout the week the campers practice and study their skills through games and hands-on experiences.

Each camper is assigned a “horse of their own” for the week. The camper is responsible for the general care of their horse such as grooming, tacking, bathing, watering, and preparing meals as well as other elements involved in horse ownership.

On Friday afternoon, the campers present to parents and relatives a riding “show” to music that they have designed to demonstrate what they learned during the week. Following the show is a graduation and goodbye ceremony.

Horseback Riding Summer Day Camp

Weekly camp sessions run Monday – Friday from 9:30 – 3:30 from the last week of July through the middle of August. Registration opens at the beginning of January. With only 3 weeks of camp starting in 2026, space is limited, so sign up early!

No refunds after April 1.
