Saddle up for an exciting summer! Blue Heron Riding Academy hosts two different Summer Camps for horse lovers from age 7-14. Blue Heron Riding Academy's Summer Camps are more than a way to fill a summer day. It's a chance for animal loving kids to spend lots of quality time with horses, making memories, and meeting new friends in a fabulous outdoor setting while building physical fitness, confidence, and a respect and love for animals.
This Summer we are excited to bring our Learning Levels Program to our Summer Camps! Every Camper will have the opportunity to earn their "Rainbow Level" ribbon through the skills and knowledge learned during the week. Along with daily riding lessons, campers will learn horsemanship, feeding, horse/animal care, grooming, saddling, medical care, and so much more! During the week Campers will learn to walk, trot, and steer their assigned horse.
