CAMPS

DAY CAMPS

All Day Camps are run by one of our Riding Instructors. On day #1, campers will be assigned their own horse to take care of for the week. Along with one hour of daily riding instruction, our comprehensive program includes; safety around the barn, grooming, proper saddling & bridling, basic first aid, anatomy of the horse, breeds & colors, a horse-related craft, educational games & more. Campers will have the opportunity to try both English & Western styles of riding. Weather permitting the campers will also take a trail ride through the Forest Preserve.

what to wear to camp / bring

All campers will be provided a "camp shirt" the first day and are required to wear it daily.
Boots with a low heel are strongly recommended, though gym shoes are acceptable.
Jeans/long pants. Please no shorts.
Equestrian helmets are required & provided. Bike helmets are not acceptable.
Riding gloves are not required & can be used at your discretion. When choosing gloves, look for grips on the palms and/or fingers. Many winter gloves are too slippery to hold the reins properly. If you need help choosing gloves, please check with your instructor.
If riding in the colder months, dress in layers!
If coming to summer camp, consider bug spray and sunscreen. Many activities are outdoors.
Please inform the office on the first day of any medical conditions or medications needed (allergies etc.)

LUNCH

Campers are asked to bring a sack lunch & a water bottle each day. We do have a drinking fountain, a vending machine with water, pop & snacks and a microwave.

TRAIL LICENSE

If weather permits, the campers will take a trail ride through the Forest Preserve. The cost of the Cook County Trail License is included in the camp price. Licenses will be handed out on the day of the trail ride.
