Summer Camps

Riding camps are offered at Inverness Farms each summer.  Our camps are primarily intended for our lesson students, although we will accept candidates who are interested in learning more about riding with the intention of joining our lesson program.  Each camp group is limited in size to just 3-6 participants to maximize individual attention and to ensure safety.  

Our objective for our riding camps is to provide our students with a thorough, hands-on exposure to riding and life at a horse barn in a safe, relaxed, and fun atmosphere. 

Hours

Camp sessions run for a 4-day period, Monday through Thursday, from 9AM to 12:30PM, with sessions regularly scheduled throughout the summer months.
