Frequently Asked Questions

Can my child get transportation to Riding Camp?
Absolutely.  We offer a variety of transportation options for our Riding Camp participants.  Campers can be dropped off and picked up directly from Waredaca or you can use one of our Ranch transportation locations.  If you choose one of our bus stops, campers will take the bus to and from the Ranch. (Transportation to/from Waredaca will be provided from the Ranch.)  

What kind of riding gear will my child need?
All riders are required to wear pants, proper shoes, and a helmet.  Proper shoes include any hard-soled, low-heeled shoes.  Helmets are provided at camp.  For those interested in buying your own helmet or clothes and shoes made specifically for riding, information will be available in parent packets.

How long will my child spend with the horses each day?
Kids will spend approximately 2-3 hours with the horses in the morning.  This includes time in the arena, on the trails, and doing stable crafts.

What else will my child need to bring to camp?
Lunch, a towel, bathing suit, and sneakers.  Kids will spend time at the lake and on adventure activities each day so it is important that they bring comfortable clothes and sneakers to run around in.

What hours do you operate?
Regular camp hours run from 9am - 3:30pm. Busses start departing their transportation site between 8:00am and 8:45 depending on location, and usually arrive back in the afternoon between 3:45 and 4:15.
