Have you always wanted your own horse? How about adopting one for a few weeks!

Girls ages 10-16 are invited to attend a special riding camp for one to four weeks and/or co-ed week. Boys are invited to come for co-ed week. Adults and youth over 16 years of age are invited to come for Family Camp. Riders at all levels of experience are welcome. Bring your own horse (no extra charge), or adopt one for your stay. You'll be responsible for his care, for cooling him off with a hose bath, and for keeping his tack in tip-top shape.

Seat lessons after check-in the first evening, twice daily riding lessons Monday through Thursday and a final lesson on Friday morning may be supplemented by trail rides, and/or dismounted lessons. Unlike the traditional rustic camp, at Houghton's riding camp you will live in college dorms, feast in the college dining hall, participate in ropes course initiatives, and swim in the school's indoor pool. A van will transport you to the equestrian center for riding and time with the horses, returning you to campus for activities such as swimming, ropes course activates, watching videos, devotions, and ground lessons.

The college provides qualified teacher-counselors who are committed Christians and who will strive to make your stay a great one. Adults and horse-minded parents of youth campers are invited to participate in a riding vacation too. Our Family Camp gives adults a chance to learn or polish their horsemanship skills and to ride in a relaxing atmosphere with expert guidance. Youth under 16 wishing to attend this week must be accompanied by an adult family member.
