The River's Edge Equestrian Center

Summer Camp

We offer day camp in the summer for those interested in expanding their equine knowledge and having a whole lot of fun at the same time!

Summer Camp is for children ages 5 and up and is for anyone from complete beginners right up to advanced riders.

Our camp groups are kept small, 2-8 children per session, so we can focus on each child's individual needs and make sure each child gets enough one on one time with our instructors!

Camp is held Monday-Friday from 9:00AM-3:00PM

We also offer an after camp program from 3:00PM-6:00PM
