Are you or your child not sure what to do this summer?! We have your answer!!

Summer camp at Lucky C is a great opportunity for children to learn all aspects of horses.  They will have  a fun-filled day including riding lessons, barn work, horse care and stable management.  Kids will learn to love and appreciate this great animal. 

Our summer camps are heavily staffed for your childs safety and learning ability.  There is typically one counselor for every three children, plus two instructors.  Safety is our greatest concern.  Our staff also includes well-schooled lesson horses of all ages and sizes.  Lucky C has an indoor and outdoor arena, as well as a comfortable viewing room for break and lunch time.  The children are ask to bring their own snacks, drinks and lunch.

 Frequently Asked Questions:

How much does camp cost?

The cost of full day camp is $500 for current customers and $550 for new customers, which includes an introductory lesson.  Half day camp is from 9:00am -12:00pm or 12:30pm to 3:30pm.  The cost of this camp is $300 for current customers and $350 for new customer, which includes an introductory lesson.  A non-refundable $100 deposit is required to hold your reservation for the camp.  The remainder is due the first day of camp.

What is the difference between half and full day?

Half day of camp is from 9am until 12pm except on Friday which ends at 12:30 because of a Pizza Party! We encourage kids to stay a full day because their learning will double in a single day.  The main difference is that full day students get to ride twice.  The afternoon portion is usually a lot of fun and games are commonly put into action in order to quiz the kids on what they learned that morning.  If your child does half day they will ride once, if they do full day they ride twice.

Describe a typical day at camp.

The first thing that occurs are introductions so even if your child doesn't know anyone, they will have an opportunity to learn everyone's names before the day even begins.  Everyone is then broken up into small groups to encourage interaction with one another.  While one group gets their lessons (beginner camps tend to get private lessons to ensure individualized attention!) another group will learn how to clean a horses stall.  It is very important that kids realize what goes into the horse they're riding.  The third aspect of the morning is learning about something horsey whether it is how to clean the equipment they're using or about the food the horse eats, the kids have great opportunities to learn from a very knowledgeable staff.  During this time there is usually a snack break and of course endless drink breaks.  After lunch time, the afternoon section consists of another lesson.  Typically groups will join to play a functional game that quizzes the children on what they've learned that day.  Kids may also have fun activities like a "Build Your Own Barn" Exercise.

What should my child wear?

For safety reasons we ask that children come dressed with long pants and some sort of riding work boot with some grip to it.  Shorts are not permitted during the time camp is in session.  They may also bring their own helmet but no worries because Lucky C has quite a variety of sizes and shapes you may borrow if you don't have your own.  We also have the appropriate equipment for each horse including a saddle although you may bring your own if you'd like.

What will my child need throughout the day?

Typically every child goes through a lot of drinks especially after riding.  We have a comfortable viewing room where the kids can leave their things all day while they're out in the barn.  We also have a soda machine which includes everything from water to powerade to soda as well as a snack machine including chips and of course candy so you may wish to send them with some change.  If your child is staying for half a day, we would suggest they come with a snack as well.  If they're staying full day, we recommend they come with plenty to drink, snacks and lunch as we take a lunch break during the camper change over time around 12pm.
