No, not that boring summer camp stuff that kids dread, but the full-week-summer-camp kind that not only allows parents to not miss work, but the kind that allows the campers to ride horses, do horse arts and crafts and be around horses all day long!

Join us at the Blue Skies Stables Summer Horse Camp!  Our state-of-the-art horse barn which was newly built in 2016 offers an air conditioned classroom and bathroom, as well as a fully covered riding arena for those days when the sun is just too hot to ride outside!

Never ridden a horse before?  No worries – our Summer Horse Camps are broken up into different periods for all skill levels of horse riders, and are supervised by our professional trainers and their assistants.  There will be no more than 3 students per every 1 summer camp horse instructor – so these camps truly will be for all levels and more assistance will be provided if needed!  This years camp will be:

Monday June 19th to Friday June 23rd, 2023 – SUMMER HORSE CAMP –  Ideal for ages 7-13 with all levels of experience.  More advanced students who are already jumping will be divided up by ability during the riding portion of camp for safety reasons and a better learning experience for all!  This camp will run from 9am to 3 pm daily.

Monday July 24th to Friday July 28th, 2023 – SUMMER HORSE CAMP – Ideal for ages 7-13 with all levels of experience.  More advanced students who are already jumping will be divided up by ability during the riding portion of camp for safety reasons and a better learning experience for all!  This camp will run from 9am to 3 pm daily.

So what all is included you ask?  Well, besides riding on one of the horses in the barn, the focus will be on having fun as well as horse education!  We will learn the proper care of the horse, how to tack the horse, groom the horse and more.  For students with a deep interest in the care of horses, we will teach the proper care of feeding and some basic medical care such as wrapping of the legs and more. We will also have horse arts and crafts, games and a whole lot of fun hanging out with new and old friends.  On the final day of camp, the students will put on an exhibition of the skills they’ve learned for their parents and siblings in the morning.

Please Note: Photos above from previous years camps where social distancing was not even heard of!  We now keep kids in smaller groups to ensure they can keep proper distance, yet still have a fun experience!  That said, just like going to school – it is nearly impossible to keep kids apart – so if you prefer, please send your child to camp with a mask.  Masks are not required, but we also don’t frown on people for taking extra precautions. 

If ever there was a great way to see if your child truly loved horses and wanted to continue, this is the way to do it!  Under watchful professional eyes, in a state-of-the-art facility with other kids with similar interests!  Our summer camp for children ages 13 and under is eligible for up to a 35% tax deduction!
