An Ontario Horse Camp surrounded by the beauty of Algonquin ! HORSE CAMPS FOR CHILDREN and ADULTS NEAR BANCROFT & ALGONQUIN PARK!
LAST UPDATE ~ FEB 1, 2012 Horse Camp is starting to fill - don't hesitate, book early!
A horse is the projection of peoples' dreams about themselves - strong, powerful, beautiful -
and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence. ~ Pam Brown ~ An Ontario horse camp which packs the refreshing benefits of
A NATURAL SETTING & RIDING into one great package!
Our
Horse Camp on Algonquin Park's
doorstep provides a pristine natural
children & adult horse camp
atmosphere second to none!
It's a 'horses only' type of riding camp, so our
avid young riders get maximum horse
time on our top quality camp horses who have proven year after year they have the RIGHT STUFF.
Each horse camp has a unique theme & TOTAL IMMERSION for the week. Our programs for beginner to advanced
youth (and adult riders) have a busy
'learn something special' agenda, so we dish out
a week of fun in the wilderness
AS WELL AS a quality
riding program
so that riding skills improve & our campers enjoy time away from the city!
Best of all, these are small, private camps - for that personal, one on one approach & maximum benefit.
~ BELIEVE IT OR NOT, WE'RE JUST 2.5 HRS FROM TORONTO & OTTAWA! ~
Our Horse Campers have their own horse for the whole week!
Riding 3-4 hrs daily in riding sessions suited to their skill level,
our horse camp is for ALL riding levels. At the end of the day,
they kick back with their new friends, enjoy a home cooked meal,
play games, watch movies, go for a swim, and have a campfire,
- making those memorable camp experiences that last a lifetime!
Training riders is our passion, and our goal is to dish up a fun
and unique camp program for English & Western
riders looking
for a getaway from the steaming city! Our location means we can
provide a beautiful & natural setting with the benefits of
a camp
setting surrounded by Algonquin Park wilderness and fresh air!
(and don't forget, ALL our horse camps are tax deductible!)
