Stables Summer Programs
Enjoy a fantastic week of learning about horses, improving your skills, and riding in a beautiful setting! Instruction is offered for riders of all abilities by instructors that are certified through the American Association of Horsemanship Safety.
All horse camp programs spend their “non-horse” time doing lots of great Classic Camp activities! Horse camp is designed to allow campers to progress in their riding skills. Each camper can progress through the levels of horse camp by demonstrating competency in their riding skills. After returning home, each camper will receive a certificate informing them of the level that they will be able to attend the next summer.
First time junior campers (grades 4-6) will start at level 1. First time Jr. High and Sr. High campers (grades 7-12) will start at level 2.
If you are not sure which level you are, please contact Carla at the stables
(stables@lutherlyn.com or 724-496-5535).
