2026 Weekly Summer Camp Riding Program!
Nine weeks - June 8th to August 7th
Riding everyday - no experience necessary - ages 6 to 15

URC's Summer Riders Camp Program is a daytime weekly, half-day riding and horse learning activity program for ages 6-15, beginner through skilled riders. Early registration for selected weeks is encouraged to secure your child's space due to limited availability. Cost: $375.00/week

Summer Riders program day: Arrival at URC 9:00 a.m. - after check in, instructors and riders will work on handling grooming and tacking their assigned horses for the lesson. Lessons will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m., including warm-up and cool down, for an hour of active riding instruction. In-ring activities may continue for a period including 'walk and talk' question and answer periods, demonstrations, etc. 11:00 - 12:00 is horse care instruction, including untacking, bathing, grooming, proper cleaning and organization of tack and tools, horse feeding and hand grazing (when appropriate); one day a week may include pony games or a trail ride. Noon to 12:30 p.m. - snack time, relax time, games or crafts; 1:00 pick-up time. Please note, we have other barn activities immediately following the program day - pick up must be made promptly, any time after 12:00 noon, and not later than 1:00 p.m. Thank you!
For daily instructional activities, riders will be grouped by experience and current skill levels. Low instructor staff to rider ratio will ensure participants enjoy riding and horse interactive activities to the fullest. Even if friends are at different skill levels for the riding lessons, the balance of daily activities will be together! Kids are encouraged but not forced to participate in riding and other activities. They must stay with staff and members of their overall group throughout the day. We may vary the schedule and types of activities daily based on weather or other factors to ensure the safety and comfort of your rider.
