Due to construction, horseback cannot be safely offered during camp hours this summer. Instead, we will be offering an hour long horse clinic, after camp, for campers 1st grade and older. For more information on the horse clinic, please email info@campdoublecreek.com.
We plan to have fall lessons starting September 2023. We look forward to bringing lessons back to the camp day, Summer of 2024.
We offer many unique and fun ways to learn how to ride horses! Our group lessons are perfect for those who want to learn in a fun and supportive environment, great for parties and events. We also offer private lessons for those who want to progress at their own pace. Riding a horse is an experience you will never forget.
Our experienced and certified instructors will teach you everything you need to know about horseback riding, from basic safety to more advanced techniques. No matter your skill level, we have a lesson plan that is perfect for you! Contact Us to learn more about our upcoming horse riding opportunities.

Our summer riding program runs in tandem with our summer camp program, and students must enroll in camp in order to enroll in summer horseback lessons.
During our horse clinic, riders will receive both mounted lesson (riding a horse) and ground lessons. Ground lessons are age appropriate unmounted activities about the horses - (safety, breeds, color, tack... so many fun things to learn). The mounted part of the lesson will focus on safety, riding skills (how to communicate with the horse to turn, stop and move forward), and balance. Riders 6 years old and younger, will be assisted during their mounted lesson by a lead liner. This person is designed to be a support system while our younger riders gain confidence in their skills. Each hour long session will have limited spaces and is only available for riders 1st grade and above. Please email info@campdoublecreek.com for more information or to get signed up.
*Campers participating in horseback riding are encouraged to bring their own riding helmet. Helmets must be at a minimum ASTM-SEI certified equestrian helmet. Helmets will be provided if your camper does not have one.
Our goal is to teach excellent horsemanship in a safe and fun environment. Riders will participate in mounted (on the horse) and unmounted activity tailored to progress each participant in learning to safely tie, groom, saddle and bridle, mount and ride a horse. Lessons are designed to progress each rider, building on their individual skills to safely enjoy connecting with and learning from the horses.
