Registration for Camp Pride 2023 Open

Camp Pride is a fully integrated day camp open to children aged 6-12 years with or without special needs. The program is designed to ensure that each camper has an active, challenging, and fun summer camp experience. (Campers must be under 160lbs (72kg)).

Again this year, we are offering a week for Campers over 13 years with disabilities. Scroll down for more information!

To provide a unique day camp experience, Camp Pride offers a variety of camp experiences including a morning riding lesson with our horses.

During the lesson, basic riding skills will be learned and practiced. Campers will also have an opportunity for games on horseback. There is one riding coach per 6 campers as well as trained volunteers to assist with each rider. The riding program, designed for beginner level riders, is progressive and tailored to the individual.

During the afternoon, campers will participate in exciting and stimulating camp activities including arts, crafts, sports, and games plus horsemanship activities.

Spaces at camp CANNOT be held/saved/reserved and can only be guaranteed when COMPLETE registration forms (insurance and info – including height & weight) AND payment are received by Pride Stables.
