Welcome to High Hopes Summer Camp! Campers will enjoy riding, hands-on horse care, fun arts and crafts, and interactive activities that teach the basics of horsemanship. From grooming and tacking to learning how horses communicate, participants will gain confidence, new skills, and unforgettable memories at the barn. Most importantly, we’ll have plenty of fun along the way!

Submitting this application is the first step! You must also submit a non-refundable $50 deposit to complete the application. Once both have been received, our staff will review the application and notify you of acceptance. Submitting this form alone does not guarantee your child a spot.
