Jefferson Valley Farm   LLC

Our equestrian programs are both most enjoyable and educational. Come camp with us!  Our comprehensive camps cover different riding disciplines, including Western and English (hunt seat) riding lessons. Each student is “assigned” to and responsible for their horse for the week. Your child and his/her horse will receive riding lessons every day.   

Students learn about horses from head to tail including interesting aspects of horse care through hands-on participation, demonstrations and group discussions. Topics include feeding, cleaning, veterinary care, farrier care, horse breeds, riding disciplines, horse-related arts and crafts, water games, team building, nature hikes and more.  Of course there are recesses for the children to have their own “horseplay.”

Jefferson Valley Farm camps are designed for riders of all skill levels. Our instructors are focused on making sure your child has a fun, educational and safe time at camp. We make every effort to group students of similar ages and abilities together so that every child gets the most out of their camp session.
