Summer camps
Registration is now Open!
WindWalkers Summer Camp offers a unique opportunity for children and teens to spend time in nature, connect with horses, and build social-emotional skills in a safe and supportive environment. Our camps are small by design—allowing for individualized attention, hands-on horse time, and meaningful group activities that foster confidence, empathy, and teamwork.
Camp Activities Include:
Daily interaction with horses—grooming, leading, groundwork, and mounted activities
Group games and creative projects are designed to build trust and communication
Barn chores that teach responsibility, teamwork, and respect for animals
Registration is Open!
Our summer camps are back and better than ever! With all-new activities, hands-on learning, and plenty of barn-side fun, kids of all abilities are invited to explore, discover, and create unforgettable memories with our horses.
Spots fill quickly and are limited, so we encourage you to register soon to secure your camper’s place. We can’t wait to share an amazing summer together!
