For Day Campers the available Add-ons for Summer 2024 are a Trail Ride OR Horse Masters. You cannot register for both equestrian add-ons. Please note this program is also weather-dependent

Trail Ride ($50):

Enhance your camp experience with a guided trail ride! Your child will befriend one of the Clover Run horses for a picturesque waterfront ride through the woods. Trail rides are appropriate for all skill levels, no experience necessary. Hard soled, closed toed shoes required. Long pants are highly suggested for comfort. Campers may register for 1 trail ride per week. Space is limited, so please register for a trail ride prior to arrival at camp.

Trail Rides will be held daily for day campers from 12:15pm-1:00pm (will start to walk towards Equestrian Center at 12:00pm). Please keep these times in mind in case you need an early pick-up! Please note if your camper is on a horse and you need early pick-up, you will have to wait until their add-on is done.

Horse Masters ($275):

Are you looking for a more immersive equestrian experience? The Horse Masters program allows your child to come to the equestrian center every day and learn to care for and ride a horse independently. No prior experience required. Space is limited, so please register for Horse Masters prior to arrival at camp.

**If your child is a more advanced rider, please contact Clover Run Riding prior to signing up to discuss options at cloverrunriding@gmail.com

All participants must have closed-toe riding shoes with at least a 1/2 inch heel and long pants.

Horse Masters will be held daily for both day and overnight campers from 9:00AM-11:00AM (will start to walk towards Equestrian Center at 8:45AM). Please keep these times in mind in case you need an early pick-up! Please note if your camper is on a horse and you need early pick-up, you will have to wait until their add-on is done.

ASTM-SEI certified riding helmets are provided and required to be worn by all participants. If you send your child with their own helmet, it must have an ASTM-SEI certification label attached and be dated within 5 years. If the certification cannot be found or is out of date the helmet may not be used. Bicycle or other non-equestrian helmets are not permitted.
