From sunrise to sun down, the focus is on horses. Ranch Camp at West Wind Stables provides boys and girls the opportunity to interact with horses in a fun, safe and educational environment.

Camps are divided by age and riding level.  Beginners can get a taste of what it's like to own a horse of their own in the Beginner Junior (Ages 6-11 or Senior camp (Ages 12-17). On the final day of beginner camps, family and friends are invited to watch our campers show off what they have learned and help celebrate with a pizza party.  For our more advanced campers, riders ages 6-17 further their skills in either western or english in our Intermediate or Advanced Camps.  Adult camps for riders 18+ are also offered throughout the year in Dressage, Jumping, and Western Performance.

A typical day involves three to four hours of riding time, divided between group lessons and games. The remainder of the day includes groundwork, horse safety classes and learning about horse care around the stable.  Lunch and drinks are provided.  Each camper will recieve a West Wind Stables T-Shirt, a camera and a scrap book to make lasting memories of their time at camp.

Staff members are selected for their excellent teaching skills, combined with their knowledge of horses and love for teaching children. The consistency and quality of the program is attributable to years of experience in youth horsemanship education by our head instructors Jennifer Collman, Staci Gust and Rebecca Meinen. Staci and Rebecca have ridden, shown, taught and judged horsemanship in a number of capacities over the years. Their wealth of experience has helped make our program one of the best ways to ensure an educational, safe and fun-filled summer for your child.

A very limited enrollment allows us to properly match each camper with the appropriate horse or pony. It also permits us to provide the individual instruction and attention necessary to ensure a rewarding experience.
