Thank you for your interest in Five Star Equestrian Camp. Our Summer Camp sessions will run from 9am-1pm Monday through Friday of each camp week. A rider must be 5 or older by the start of their camp week.

Please see the information below for activities, cost and deposit details, camp dates, and checklist items for campers.

9am-12pm: Camp lessons cover essential horsemanship topics, with a focus on building confidence and emphasizing safety. These sessions teach communication skills, equine nutrition, horse care, anatomy, breeds, markings, colors, tack types and parts, cleaning, grooming, bathing, clipping, show preparation, feeding, cleaning, and more.

Children learn how to groom and prepare horses, get instructions on using equipment correctly, and take turns riding in small groups. To keep the number of riders manageable, we organize campers into smaller teams and have them rotate through stations featuring different activities. Besides practical skills, kids participate in games and group events each day, which help them develop “horse sense” and guarantee plenty of enjoyment.

12pm-1pm: Lunch takes place in the classroom, where campers eat their packed lunches, play games, and do art projects while waiting for pickup. Those who stay longer will help with barn chores to further understand equine care, and we also plan nature hikes when weather allows.

Our camps give participants a glimpse into the experiences available through our full program.
