Equestrian summer Camps

Wesleyan Equestrian Center offers educational and fun summer opportunities for girls and boys 5-18 years old. Our camp programs teach riding and horsemanship - and so much more! Learning horse skills promotes confidence, teamwork, responsibility and leadership in a fun and rewarding environment. We will continue to follow campus-specific guidelines from the CDC for COVID-19 and make any necessary adjustments to our protocols.

This program is for students with little or no riding experience. Riders participate in private lessons during the week, participate in practical horse activities and horse crafts, learn about breeds of horses, colors, markings, parts of the horse and other practical horse information. Since riding lessons are private, they can be designed based on the level of rider the camper is in case they have some riding experience.
