Enrollment is limited in order ensure a quality experience. We encourage you to sign up as soon as possible.
Due to COVID-19 we are taking extra precautions to ensure social distancing, sanitizing, hand washing, and keeping personal items separate from each other. All of our activities are outside or in an open air barn. Horse and rider teams are limited to 2 riders for every one horse coupled with one counselor.
If for some reason a camper needs to cancel we can reschedule for a later date, offer gift certificates for future rides, or offer a full refund.
