Summer Horse Camps for Kids & Teens at a Price Families Can Afford

 

If your child loves horses and wants a summer experience centered around real riding and horsemanship, our summer horse camp is designed with them in mind. At Pony Gang Horse Crazy Camp, campers spend the majority of their day participating in horse-related activities — not waiting for their turn to ride.

 

Unlike many traditional sleepaway camps, our overnight horse camp places horses at the heart of the experience. Campers enjoy daily riding lessons, hands-on horse care, grooming, tacking, and stable routines that build confidence, responsibility, and meaningful connections with horses.

 

 

Western riding at camp is safe for beginners and advanced riders

Afternoons include structured group activities, team-building games, and farm-based fun that keep each day engaging while supporting social growth and independence. This balanced approach helps campers learn new skills, build friendships, and feel proud of what they accomplish.

 

Our sleepaway horse summer camp offers more than just riding — it provides an immersive, horse-centered environment where girls grow in confidence, discipline, and respect for both horses and themselves. We take pride in offering a high-quality overnight horse camp experience that families trust and campers remember.

 

Let’s Saddle Up!
Join us for an unforgettable sleepaway horse camp experience.

 

Embark on an immersive journey into horsemanship, horseback riding, and horse care at our Overnight Summer Horse Camp for girls. Campers enjoy hands-on riding lessons, groundwork with horses, trail riding, and daily barn activities in a structured, supportive environment designed to build confidence and real skills.

Everything begins with a Love of Horses

 

Western or English?

We ride both here at Pony Gang Horse Crazy Camp.

 

Unlike many summer camps that bring in rented horses for a short season, we maintain our own herd year-round. This allows our instructors to know each horse personally and ensure they are well-prepared, healthy, and suited for our campers.

 

Because our horses live and work on the farm throughout the year, campers benefit from a safer, more consistent experience. This approach helps us provide high-quality instruction while fostering trust, confidence, and meaningful partnerships between campers and horses.


Activities During the Week at Our Sleepaway Horse Camp

Daily Horseback Riding & Horsemanship Program

 

At our sleepaway horseback riding camp, campers of all experience levels enjoy a structured, educational riding program in a fun and supportive environment. Riders with prior experience in Western or Hunter/English riding participate in daily group rides and trail rides while continuing to develop balance, confidence, and correct riding skills.

 

 

For beginners with little to no riding experience, our overnight horse camp offers specialized instruction focused on developing a balanced, independent seat before progressing to advanced riding skills. Campers learn how to use their aids correctly, build confidence in the saddle, and ride safely with proper foundations in place.

 

 

Our emphasis is on correct riding from the beginning, ensuring every camper develops skills that support both rider confidence and horse well-being.

 




Vaulting & Trick Riding Program

Campers have the opportunity to participate in both Trick Riding and Vaulting as part of our structured weekly program. These specialty activities are scheduled on specific days to ensure focused instruction and a safe, supportive learning environment.

 

Trick Riding takes place on Tuesdays and introduces campers to controlled, confidence-building riding exercises that improve balance, coordination, and body awareness. This camper-favorite activity adds an extra layer of fun while reinforcing riding skills in a positive and engaging way.

 

Vaulting takes place on Thursdays and focuses on developing balance, flexibility, strength, and body control. Campers begin vaulting exercises on our wooden practice horse before progressing to carefully supervised work with real horses, following the same safety-first approach used in all beginner instruction.

 

Both activities are taught in group settings and are designed to complement our core horseback riding and horsemanship program while giving campers a unique and memorable experience during the week.




Daily Horse Care and Barn Management

At our sleepaway horseback riding camp, campers take an active role in daily horse care and barn management. This hands-on experience helps campers understand the responsibility, consistency, and attention required to keep horses healthy, comfortable, and well cared for.

 

Campers participate in age-appropriate tasks such as feeding, watering, stall care, grooming, and learning basic stable routines. Through these daily activities, campers gain a deeper appreciation for horse ownership and develop respect for the animals they work with throughout the week.

 

 

Our barn management program is designed to build responsibility, confidence, and teamwork while reinforcing the values of proper horsemanship in a safe and supportive farm environment.



Daily Horsemanship Workshop

At our sleepaway horseback riding camp, campers participate in a daily horsemanship workshop designed to build essential knowledge in horse care, handling, and management. Through hands-on learning, campers gain a deeper understanding of how to care for horses safely and responsibly.

 

Workshops may include topics such as basic first aid, health checks, understanding hydration and vital signs, grooming techniques, and learning how to recognize a horse’s physical and emotional needs. These sessions are both educational and engaging, helping campers connect classroom knowledge with real-life horse care.

 

During select weeks, campers may also benefit from visits by equine professionals such as veterinarians, farriers, or equine dentists. These experiences offer a behind-the-scenes look at professional horse care and help campers broaden their understanding of equine health and wellness.

 

Our horsemanship workshops reinforce respect, responsibility, and confidence while strengthening each camper’s relationship with the horses they work with throughout the week.




Daily Changing Horse-Focused Afternoon Activities

At our sleepaway horseback riding camp in Hopkins, South Carolina, each afternoon offers hands-on, horse-focused activities designed to deepen campers’ connection with horses beyond the saddle. These sessions complement our riding and horsemanship program while keeping learning fun, interactive, and engaging.

 

Whether a camper is new to horses or already horse-savvy, these rotating afternoon activities help build confidence, responsibility, communication skills, and a deeper understanding of horse behavior and care.
