Horse camps near you
At a horse camp, kids spend their days at a barn: riding, grooming, feeding and learning how horses are cared for. Many run in the summer, and some stables also hold camps over school breaks. Every stable here runs a camp, per a customer review or its own website.
What happens at horse camp
A camp day mixes riding with horse care: grooming, tacking up, feeding, cleaning stalls and learning the barn rules for working around horses.
Riding is often grouped by level, so new riders and experienced riders work at their own pace. Many camps add crafts, games or a small show for families at the end of the session.
Many horse camps are day camps; some stables also run overnight camps. Session dates, age groups and what a day includes vary by stable, so read each camp's website or call.
A stable is listed here only when a customer review mentions horse camps there or the stable's own website does. That review line, or a note about the website, is shown under each stable. What a stable offers can change, so check with it before you go. For 1,766 of them, the proof is the stable's own website.

Grew up attending their summer camps & try to visit any time I’m in town.
When I was searching for a summer camp, Camp Lingua immediately stood out because of its focus on outdoor activities and no technology—which is incredibly rare to find these days.

I did the horse camps and it is so fun, all to riding and trail rides and so many activities to do!
10/10 Horse Camp with CRC Trails.
Took my Summer Camp kids to Legacy Sables not only did they horseback ride but they enjoyed the many farm animals as well.
If you get the chance to do a horse camp or even a short trail ride, I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
She has done/does their spring break and summer camps, private lessons, and recently her and I went on a trail ride — we leave there counting down the days until we come back.
I then re-encountered them when looking for an adult riding camp, which I went to for the first time in 2023 & absolutely loved!
