How to best choose the appropriate camp for your child

Open Riding Camp is for any child to participate and learn basic horse safety, handling and beginning riding. This camp is designed for first time exposure to horses for the child who loves horses but does not normally have the opportunity or means to be involved with horses. If your child is bugging you for a horse and you want to satisfy the curiosity or see if he/she is truly serious about learning to ride – this is the camp for you.

Therapeutic Riding Camp for children with Autism. If your child has been diagnosed within the autism spectrum, this camp is a wonderful opportunity for sensory integration, dynamic input and stimulation, self-regulation, and recreational fun within an understanding and appropriate environment that is conducive to the autistic personality. Our staff is well trained and certified with NARHA (narha.org) and carries credentials to meet your child’s needs. Each child will have volunteers trained in working with autism and provide support in all activities.
