SJ Riding Camp, a summer horse back riding camp located in New England for girls ages 8-16, is an ideal place to improve your riding skills, learn to ride, learn more about horses, take on the responsibilities of horse and animal care, and have fun! It’s also the best summer camp to make new friends, because everyone here shares your enthusiasm for horses and other animals!
In addition to horseback riding, there are plenty of other activities to try, which include barn activities, mini-farm, arts and crafts, archery, tennis, acting games, swimming, boating, or other sports and games!
Camp runs for 8 weeks with 1, 2, 3, and 4 week sessions.
