Residential Summer Camp

This camp is a residential camp for girls aged 7-16. English horseback riding is our primary and most important activity. Each camper rides twice a day and will ride the same horse or pony for the entire week they are at Ravencrest. It's almost like having a horse of their own!!

Horseback riding is the main focus of our camp program with individualized instruction for the beginner to advanced rider. Horse care, stable management, arts & crafts, games, swimming, activities and evening campfires round out the camp experience at Ravencrest.
