The available Add-on for Overnight Camp is a Trail Ride. Please note this program is weather-dependent and non-refundable.

Trail Ride:

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 is necessary. Hard-soled, closed-toed shoes are required. Long pants are highly recommended for comfort. Campers may register for 1 trail ride per week. Please understand that rides are weather-dependent and can be affected by extreme heat. All add-ons are non-refundable once camp begins.

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.

Please understand that this program is weather-dependent and can be affected by extreme heat. All add-ons are non-refundable once camp begins.

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 If the certification cannot be found or is out of date the helmet may not be used.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.
