"Your camp allowed my daughter to enter a world where she knew she wouldn't be judged or bullied. She feels nothing but love, togetherness, but most importantly, she feels accepted. I cannot thank you enough for allowing me financial help to get her back to camp for the past three summers, and for helping to make my daughter a better, confident, happy young lady."

Horseback Riding

Burgess and Hayward campers may sign up for horseback riding lessons for an additional fee.

Our stables are located at Camp Hayward, with 14 horses, two large riding rings and two miles of scenic trails. Led by our trained staff, campers learn English-style riding and horse care, including grooming, feeding and stable management.

Campers are grouped according to ability, and the riding takes place in the rings and on our trails. The program consists of five two-hour lessons that take place during Interest Group time each morning.

If campers are interested in signing up for horseback riding lessons, please see Dates & Rates for more information.
