Your child’s safety is our number one concern and focus.  Upon submission of your application we ask for your insight not only about your child’s riding skills and abilities, but also about you child as an individual.  In addition, the activities we have planned for our first night of camp are purposeful and provide us with information regarding your child’s personality which helps us to match them to one of our 28 horses.  We own the horses used at camp and have a track record of making wonderful  horse and rider combinations.

The answer to this question is that we spend time with the horses because you are at HORSE Camp.  Each camp option will vary dpending on the camp; however, you can know that horses are the center of everything we do.  Activities such as games, crafts, or swimming (if applicable) are secondary to our focus on HORSES. 

We work with beginner to advanced riders so the level of learning will vary depending on the needs of the rider.  No two weeks of camp are the same….we let the skill level and interest of the individuals and the group drive our decisions for the week.  We ALWAYS focus on Safety FIRST!!!!

The horses live on the camp grounds all year.  When you visit camp you are truly visiting the horses at their home.  The pastures are located around the perimeter of the camper’s homes for the week.  We enjoy pasture walks during the week that are guided by counselors, wake up smelling and hearing horses, sit around the camp fire and hear and see the horses as night….it is a week of horse immersion!

Jeans will be required when riding western, breeches for English riders.  Boots and hard hats are available at camp or you can choose to bring your own. Sneakers for running games.  Sweatshirts, shorts, flip-flops — whatever you wish for the evenings. Swimsuit, water shoes, and towel for the beach.  Towels for the bathroom.  Shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste etc.  Pajamas, sheets and bedding for a single bed, and pillows.  Battery operated lantern, flashlight, batteries.  You are welcome to bring posters or other items to decorate your room.  You are also welcome to bring bottled water and snacks.  We do ask that gum and other sticky items stay at home.  Cell phones and other electronic devices can be brought to camp; however, they will remain in the main house and can be used upon a camper’s request after dinner each evening.

Our goal is to provide each camper with a unique, memorable experience.  This experience will create new friendships and memories in a safe environment.  Triple Crown Horsemanship Camp is a family owned business with counselors with years of experience at Triple Crown Camp.

We have expanded our offerings so this answer varies; however, we work to ensure that rider’s are grouped not only by ability, but also by age groups and interests.  We have found that age really isn’t a factor here at camp, there is a feeling of family in each week and everyone respects and enjoys the company of others.

Short answer….you can be a beginner with no experience or an advanced rider.  Our goal is to enjoy horses and spend time with other horse lovers.  

You are welcome to borrow these items for the week.

There is not a typical horse camp experience.  Truly, every day is different.  So many factors determine our camp day including weather, flies, campers needs/wants etc.  We will say that each day is filled with fun, laughs, and learning!!
