Older day campers will have the chance to choose their own adventure for part of the day and pick the activities they are most interested in.
  • Bus and lunch are included! No additional fees!
  • Nut free camp
  • 30 minutes of reading per day to help the summer learning loss
  • Each week will have a different theme to keep it exciting for campers that come multiple weeks

Kinder Camp

Kinder Camp is a perfect way to see if your young camper is ready for the full experience. While Kinder Camp runs a half week (Monday-Wednesday) they will follow a similar schedule to our traditional day campers, but specifically designed for younger campers. Bus, lunch, swimming and snacks are also included for Kinder Campers.

Day Horse Camp

Ages 10-12

Day horse campers will get the chance to ride horses as well as learn how to take care of their own horse.  In the afternoon they will join the rest of Day Camp for swimming and regular camp programming.

Day horse campers will have an amazing experience learning what it really means to take care of their own horse. If your child has ever asked you for a horse as a birthday present before, this is the perfect gift for them.
