Equestrian (EQ)

The Equestrian (EQ) Specialty Camp offers an immersive experience for 5th – 9th grade campers who want to dive deep into the world of Western horsemanship. Campers in EQ spend the majority of their time honing their riding skills, learning about animal care, and bonding with a smaller community of dedicated horse lovers. Each camper is assigned their own horse, allowing them to build a unique connection through daily arena lessons, trail rides, and mounted games. A highlight of the program is an overnight horse-packing trip, where campers venture into the Outer 400 for a true wilderness experience. With over 60 years of expertise in small group equine programming, Ranch Camp provides an opportunity for both beginner and intermediate riders to grow under the guidance of our qualified instructors.

Toshavim campers in EQ will focus on horsemanship and will not participate in the 7th or 8th grade trips, allowing them to fully engage in this intensive program. EQ campers also enjoy special opportunities each year, such as visiting a rodeo, showcasing their skills in an all-camp event, or even teaching staff how to ride.

This program is ideal for campers looking to improve their riding abilities while learning the ins and outs of horse care and Western riding in a fun, supportive environment.
