Morning activities are divided into three skill sessions which include horseback riding lessons (English or Western), horse care, and other activities which may include arts and crafts, drama, outdoor adventure, and sports.
The afternoon may include a variety of activities, one of which will be a riding session such as a trail ride, mounted games, bareback riding, etc. Other sessions may be horse bathing, drill team movements, rodeo, or cabin projects.
After dinner, campers may have the opportunity to go on a hay ride, have a campfire, or participate in camp games or cabin activities.
