Kid's Camps




The Idylwood Stables riding day camp is a fun and exciting
experience for young people ages 6 and up, filled with
every horse activity imaginable! Join us to learn all
aspects of horsemanship, from grooming and basic horse
care to riding and even water games on horses in a safe
and fun environment. Day camp is offered during winter
and spring breaks and throughout the summer, Monday
through Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Transportation
through Camp Car Pools is available from Northwest Hills.
From the beginner to the most advanced student, your
child will experience the joy and excitement of life with
horses in hands-on tasks and other educational venues.
For their safety, campers are divided into small groups.
Campers receive riding instruction on horseback twice daily
and unmounted lessons in barn and horse management.
Riders will learn the basics of grooming, tacking-up,
bathing, and cooling down. Skilled riders may also do
bareback rides, trail rides, and/or play days (including a
ride through the water) and learn how to clip and prepare
horses for shows.
Visitors to the camp will include a farrier, a veterinarian,
and some very famous riders! Campers will also
participate in a barn horse show where they can
demonstrate to parents and friends what they have
learned and witness some spectacular professional
displays of show jumping.
The tack-up area and some riding areas are shaded. Our
lounge is air-conditioned and offers a television, fridge,
microwave, and several couches for rest.
