Our horseback riding & horsemanship summer camp in Avon runs from June 21 to August 21, giving kids and teens ages 6-14 a full week of riding, horse care, barn activities, and outdoor adventure just minutes from Hartford. Campers will embark on an exciting journey of discovery, filled with diverse activities that go beyond the beloved horseback riding lessons.
Exploratory nature hikes to the river and around our expansive 20-acre farm provide opportunities to observe wildlife and connect with the great outdoors. Equestrian experiences include horseback riding, fun obstacle courses, feeding, grooming, tacking up, and learning essential horsemanship skills like basic equine first aid and therapeutic treatments for these very special equines. Through barn management activities, campers also develop responsibility, teamwork, and leadership skills.
Beyond the barn, creativity and fun flourish with arts and crafts, team-building exercises, and outdoor activities like “beach” volleyball in our white sand arena, yoga, and gardening. With every day carefully designed to foster confidence, friendships, and lifelong skills, campers enjoy a well-rounded, unforgettable summer experience.
Adventures on the Farm offers the perfect blend of maximum hands-on time with horses and a diverse range of enriching activities. Our indoor facilities ensure the excitement never stops, rain or shine, making every day a celebration of summer, learning, and connection. Designed for children ages 6 through 14, our program warmly welcomes both Newbie horse enthusiasts and seasoned riders, creating unforgettable experiences for every skill level with our highly skilled trainers.
The camp is overseen by highly experienced equestrians assisted by well-trained camp counselors. A registered nurse is onsite.
A $200 non-refundable deposit is required with registration. Balance due 30 days prior to camp start.
