Camp
The special bond between horses and children often begins at camp when for the first time campers get a hands-on opportunity to experience one of lifes greatest animal partnerships.
Bryan Stables offers opportunities for campers who want a horse camp experience where they can do more than just ride. At Bryan Stables Summer Camp, we cater to youth and teen horse enthusiasts wishing to eat, breathe and sleep horses. Each camper will care for their horse for the week.
Our dynamic horse camp program features English riding lessons, jumping, horse care, trail rides and more. Unlike some other summer horse camps, our program is only about horses. Campers take riding lessons each morning followed by horsemanship classes afterwards. If we have time for any crafts, they, too, will be horse related.

Session 1: June 14th June 18th

Tuition and Refunds
The tuition for Summer Horse Camp is $250.00 per week. A daily rate will be offered at $60.00 per day. Due to limited enrollment, full tuition must be paid no later than two (2) weeks prior to the session your child will be attending.
Camp will be held rain or shine. There will be no refunds given due to weather conditions. (If weather does not allow for riding, other activities will be scheduled.)
What you will need.
Each camper should wear riding pants (or jeans) and riding boots (not cowboy boots). Everyone is required to wear an approved riding helmet at all times while on a horse. If you don't have your own, we have helmets you may borrow.
Additional items; an extra change of clothes, a ball cap and sunscreen.
Campers need to bring their own lunch plus snacks and plenty of water (no glass); at least two bottles a day.
