Registration is now open for 2023 summer camp!
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!
Details
Cost: $500 per week, Mon - Fri
Drop Off: 7-8 AM
Pick Up: 5-6 PM
Due to horse feed and labor costs, we had to adjust our pricing this year. We were able to keep the same, full day hours to ensure we have the best drop off and pick up times in the area! We can't wait to see you this year!
What to bring
- A sack lunch. Your camper is welcome to use our refrigerator on premesis.
- A water bottle/container your camper can reuse throughout the day.
- Campers should wear long pants. They'll be doing a lot of riding and don't want any saddle sores!
- Closed toes shoes must also be worn around horses at all times.
- Riding helmets will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own.
