  • Homeschool Horsemanship Camp


         Level 1&2 May 9-14

         Level 1&3 May 16-21

    If you love horses and are homeschooled, this is the camp for you! Specifically designed for homeschoolers age 10 and older, this week includes teachings, chapel content, and a schedule all prepared with your needs in mind. The mid-May

    timing of this camp and its smaller size (twenty campers) offers a great chance to get to know others with similar backgrounds as well.

    This camp concludes with a Friday evening program (4:00pm) where campers will demonstrate what they have learned in a horse show at the arena. Parents, family, and friends are invited to attend.


  • Level 1 Horsemanship Camps


    June 6-12; July 18-24; August 1-7

    Campers will learn the basics of horse handling and riding, working toward being able to safely and confidently control their horse. Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA) based curriculum, games on horseback, trail rides, and preparing an

    introductory drill routine offer campers fun experiences to develop their skills. CHA Level 1 certification may be earned.

    +Level 1 Camps are offered primarily in Western Riding. In each Level 1 there are four openings for those who wish to pursue English Riding. It is considered “pre-jumping” camp. Level 1 English will be a prerequisite for Jumping Camps offered in

    the future.


  • Level 2 (WEstern) Horsemanship Camps


    June 13-19, July 25-31, August 15-20

    Campers build upon their Level 1 experiences as they become confident controlling their horse at a trot and learn the basics of the canter. Intermediate-level games, trail rides, arena instruction, and preparing a group drill routine help students work toward CHA Level 2 certification in a fun and caring environment.

    CHA Level 2 Certification may be earned.


  • Jumping Camp Level 2/3 English


    July 11-17

  • Level 3 Horsemanship Camp

                                 

    Two week TBD; August 1-7

    Advanced riders build upon their CHA Level 1 & 2 knowledge and skills as they learn

    more about cantering, leg and rein cues, and smooth transitions. Advanced games,

    activities, and trail rides will test and expand campers’ riding ability and love of horses.

    Level 3 Horsemanship Camps are split into 3A and 3B. They can be taken together (Session 3 - two weeks) or separately (2027 will offer 3A in Session 7 - one week camp). Campers who have passed level two are eligible for any of the Level 3 Camps; Level 3A is not a pre-requisite for Level 3B as it is different material. Level 3A will focus on more detailed leg and rein cues, while Level 3B will focus on arena figures and transitions. The sessions will all include practicing the advanced materials, and preparing an advanced drill routine for Saturday morning.
