2016 Fox Pointe Farm Summer Horse Camps

Fox Pointe Farm offers a range of camp opportunities for riders of all levels. We have overnight camps, which are exclusively for girls, and we also offer co-ed day camps. All of our camp experiences focus on hunt seat equitation for youth aged 7 through 16. Our approach emphasizes safety first, as well as close and personalized attention. Our riding lessons are organized in small ability-based groups of no more than 10 riders in each group. Riding instruction is supplemented with on-the-ground horsemanship and barn management training. Campers who attend our overnight camps also participate in group outings that can include fun at the beach, a local park, or other local attractions depending on the weather and time of year. Students receive quality instruction from trainer Colleen Seely who is active in the industry through coaching at AA and VHSA horse shows, as well as coaching a Zone 3 Interscholastic Equestrian Association teams. She is also an active USEF/USHJA/VHSA member and judges local VHSA horse shows.
