Summer camp registration now open for the 2024 season!

Summer Camp

Paul Cates Stable offers day camps during the summer break. Our campers spend the day in a variety of activities focused on learning the basics of horseback riding & caring for the horses.

Camp Activities
  • Grooming the horses
  • Tacking up the horses
  • Equine Terminology
  • Basic Care & Feeding
  • Two horseback riding lessons daily
  • Post-ride care
  • Arts & Crafts
  • ... & much, much more!

As part of the routine operation of the stable, the children are often treated by a visit from a veterinarian or farrier. Our camp attendee’s are supervised by at least two riding instructors during the riding lessons & adult supervision is constantly provided.

There is no riding experience necessary to attend camp!
