Our Children's Summer Horsemanship Camp is very popular with our young guests. It is a fun learning experience and a memorable part of their summer vacation. Each year we create a program to meet the needs of our families. This year the program is offered July and August for children ages 6 - 12. Advance reservations are required. We strongly suggest booking when making your room reservations since space is limited. 

Overview

At the Resort’s summer camp, children learn horsemanship and how to ride in a fun and safe environment.  Professional, experienced instructors teach our campers control and handling skills as well as the essentials of grooming and saddling. Campers gain a basic understanding of horse care, safety around the horses and the responsibility involved in owning a horse.  In addition, youngsters have the opportunity to experience nature hikes and to enjoy the resort’s private lakefront beach.  Campers need to arrive at the Activity Center at 9AM to allow time for parents to complete the necessary paperwork.  Parents should return to the Activity Center promptly at 3:30PM to pick up the children. 

Hours and Rates
Our children’s summer program is for children ages 6 - 12 years and is available Monday through Friday 9:30 AM - 3:30PM in July  and  August. Space may be reserved on a daily or weekly basis.
The rates are:
• Weekly - $450.00 per child
• Daily - $125.00 per child

Description
Our specifically designed equestrian program provides the children with exciting, hands on familiarity with the horses and is appropriate for a variety of levels. The daily schedule varies depending upon the size and ability levels of the group. At some point during the program they can expect to learn about grooming, tacking, untacking and cooling out the horses. All campers will ride at least once per day. Lessons in appropriate disciplines will be added to the daily schedule whenever possible. Lunch is provided each day. (Please advise in advance of any food allergies.)

Attire
Campers are requested to bring or wear jeans or other long pants, close toed shoes or riding boots. Helmets are required and will be provided. They should also bring swimsuits, towels, and beach type clothing, and shorts if weather permits. In the event of rain or if it is predicted campers should bring suitable rain gear, as we will ride in light rain and want them to be prepared.
