One Week- Our comprehensive riding program builds skills and confidence for campers who love horses and are ready for a focused and fun summer program. Each camper or “Ranchie” will be taught riding and horsemanship skills, including grooming, tacking and barn work. Lessons for beginners through advanced riders are led by skilled riding instructors from a wide selection of disciplines. Campers are instructed in our riding ring, and are also taken on trail rides throughout Fairview Lake’s 660 pristine acres. Campers will also have opportunities for swimming and traditional camp activities in the evenings. At the end of the session campers will participate in a horse show, giving them the chance to demonstrate their newly found skills. Our Riding Director is an ACA approved Certified Riding Instructor and our horses are carefully selected for riders of all ages and abilities. Two Week- Our two-week Ranch Camp gives girls the opportunity to advance their abilities as young equestrians. Building on the curriculum of our one-week program, campers will have lessons and trail rides, and will increase their knowledge of horses and learn basic animal care; recognizing common diseases, reading vital signs, and administering basic first-aid. As a culminating event campers will participate in a horse show, giving them a chance to demonstrate sharpened skills. August campers attend the nationally famous Sussex County Farm and Horse Show at the New Jersey State Fair.
