About Our Equestrian ProgramsWant to combine horses, great food, learning, and fun? Join us at YMCA Camp Willson. With more than 45 horses and 455 acres of land, YMCA Camp Willson offers horseback riding options for youth and adults of all ages and skill levels! All Camp Willson horseback riding programs are instructed by "kid friendly" first aid/CPR certified staff. YMCA Camp Willson is an accredited site of the Certified Horsemanship Association and the American Camp Association. We've got the program to fit your budget and schedule. Please email or call for more information, or to book your program. The Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA) accreditation program is based on the Standards for Group Riding Programs, published by CHA. CHA standards identify safety practices that are considered basic to horse related activities and facilities. A CHA accredited site insures that the facility meets these general safety requirements. Camp Willson equestrian staff attend extensive trainings on safety, horsemanship, and working with youth. All participants are required to wear approved riding helmets (provided) and complete a horse back riding release form. Unless requested otherwise, programs are designed for the beginning and intermediate western riders. Join us for the day, or pack a bag and spend the weekend with us. We've got just the package for your next outing or overnight trip. Groups of 10 or more (6-9 riders at a slightly higher rate) can enjoy any of these packages. Pick the plan that best suits your budget, then call to reserve your place on our calendar. Equestrian and Adventure |
