Welcome to Fairwinds Day Camp!
All weeks of camp are full!
Our number one priority is safety! Our skilled instructors know our horses well - unlike other camps where the horses are "trucked in" for the summer, our horses work with us all year. Why is this important? It means that we know our horse’s strengths, weaknesses and personalities and can match them expertly to your child’s riding ability and style.
Throughout the week, riders will learn important skills both in the saddle and on the ground. On Friday, riders participate in the camp horse show to demonstrate their new skills for family and friends, with a BBQ to follow!
Riders are split into two groups based on riding ability. Children MUST be 8-14 years old to attend. Cost is $400 per child. A $50 non-refundable deposit is due with your application. The remaining balance is due when you bring your child to camp on the first day.
You will not receive a confirmation. You will only be notified if there is an issue with your application. Please email or call if you would like to confirm your child's acceptance to camp.
Please have your child bring the following items to camp:
∙Bag lunch ∙Water thermos ∙Writing utensil ∙Plain T-shirt (for crafts)
Campers must wear a closed-toe shoe or boot with a small heel. No sneakers/tennis shoes or sandals!
