Stonehaven Farms Riding Day Camps
Our Day Camp program is designed to teach first time riders through advanced riders how to safely and knowledgeably work around and ride horses and ponies. We instill in our students a solid foundation of riding basics. Our curriculum includes lots of hands on experience, and informal presentations from our local veterinarian, equine dentist, and farrier. In addition, we add arts and crafts, games, and sports activities for all our campers. Since 1994, according to our over 1000 campers, the only complaint has been that the time goes by too quickly!
If you wish to apply for the Day Camp Program, you must complete and return the application forms with a $75 deposit.
Cash or check only .... no credit cards accepted.
With limited space on a first come, first serve basis, our camps do fill up quickly.
