Equilibrium Horse Center invites your children to our Summer Horse Camp — a delightful happy campers summer spent with horses and 80+ acres of open spaces. Your children will adventure into the wonderful world of horses, guided by knowledgeable counselors and in the company of great friends: other horse-loving kids ages 6 to 16.

Equilibrium’s summer camp offers intensive, hands-on instruction in horsemanship and the science of equine management.

Camper Programs

Campers will be put into small groups according to their experience and riding ability.
  • Beginning & Intermediate Riders will focus on gaining technical skills and confidence, leading a pony and learning basic horse care.

  • Advanced Riders who can walk, trot, and canter while maintaining control of the horse will expand knowledge of horse care and develop more advanced riding skills, which may include dressage tests, hunter courses, and cross-country riding.

Our Facility

The equestrian facility at Equilibrium Horse Center includes a large indoor riding hall, stables for over 50 horses and ponies, outdoor riding arena, wooded trails, fields, and lecture hall.

Camp Staff

The program is directed by certified, knowledgeable staff along with the great support of additional grooms, instructors, and animal care specialists.

Equipment

All campers will need a Government-approved riding or sports helmet with a harness. Children will also need hard-soled, enclosed shoes with a heel. Campers will be most comfortable in suitable riding pants (breeches, jodphurs, sweat pants, or loose-fitting long pants) and cooler wear for unmounted activities. (Remember, we may get all wet and dirty, which is what kids do really well.)

Other items campers should bring daily are a small notebook, pencil, and sunscreen.

Camp Fees and Hours

Camp sessions are $400/week. A $100 non-refundable deposit is required upon registration for each camp week selected. The balance for each week is due on the first day of the camp session.

Equilibrium's summer camp sessions run weekly Monday through Friday, from 8 am to 4 pm, for 12 weeks starting June 9. Before and after care is available at no extra charge — arrangements must be made in advance through the camp director.
