Come meet the miniature herd we have at Camp Tapawingo during this three-day mini overnight camp which includes, horses, donkeys, and a mule! You will learn what exactly makes miniatures so special. Companion animals (guide or therapy), cart pulling, herd protectors, and being ridden by small children are just some of the many amazing capabilities of miniatures. Once you’ve learned all there is to know about minis, it’s time to saddle up and ride our regular sized horses and ponies! After your time at the barn is up, it’s time for some more fun. Make lifelong friends while enjoying camp songs, games, and swimming!
Juniors will earn their Horseback Riding Badge.
Campers Entering grades 4-6 in fall 2023
Please note: This is a beginner camp. A beginner equestrian camp is designed so that staff are more “hands on” with campers on horseback. We always strongly encourage campers to ride independently so long as they are comfortable and it is safe to do so. However, if the camper needs to be assisted while on their horse; for the safety of all participants (riders, staff, horses), then the proper support will be provided. Generally speaking, this equates to campers that have never been to equestrian summer camp or have been to at least one or an equivalent.
