What to Expect

Start & End Times

• Camp starts at 7:00am daily. Arriving between 6:55-7:00am is perfect!

• Camp ends promptly at 11:00am. If you are running late, please call or text us at (520) 298-7450.

What to Expect

• When you drop off your rider, we will have you check in and meet our team. 

• We have an open-door policy but encourage you to allow your rider to attend solo for the first few days. We find that our riders are often more confident when their grown-ups are not around!

• When everyone has arrived, a wrangler will lead all of the riders down to the barn together to start their day.

• Daily Schedule

  • Public Speaking Time (~10-20 minutes)

  • Education & Games (~1.5-2 hours)

  • Tacking, Riding, and Untacking (~1.5-2 hours)

  • Snack Time/Transitions/Daily Wrap Up (~15-30 minutes)

• We provide daily snacks. If your rider has any food allergies that you have not already disclosed, please alert us. 

What to Wear and Bring

• Please ensure your rider wears long pants, closed-toe shoes, and sunscreen.

• Please send your rider with enough water for 4 hours in the heat! We recommend at least 30 oz.

• Many families find that filling a water bottle up halfway the night before to freeze and then filling the rest with water in the morning keeps the water cool enough for the whole morning.

• If your rider is heat-sensitive, please send them with a towel or bandana that they can wet and keep around their neck.

• Helmets are recommended but not required. If your rider is wearing a helmet, we require you to bring your own.

  • ASTM/SEI-certified helmets are preferred. Troxel offers several affordable options (TROXEL SPORT 2.0), but any equestrian helmet will work. We recommend sticking to well-known brands such as Troxel or Ovation.

  • Bike helmets are okay if needed.
