Half Day Camps
Hunkapi Half Day camps are offered during summer, spring and holiday breaks. Most camps are five days, M-F from 7:30-11:30 A.M. For special holiday’s, Hunkapi offers single day camps. Camps are designed to teach riding skills (beginner-advanced), proper horsemanship and total equine care. Campers will create lasting relationships with others and their horse. Each camper will be assigned a horse to ride and care for the entire week as if it were their own. Campers will receive horsemanship instruction for a minimum of 50 minutes each day. The remaining time will be spent learning horse fun facts, doing arts and crafts, and providing horse care. Riders are grouped by age and riding level. All beginner riders learn to ride on bareback pads to create a more balanced seat and encourage awareness of the horse. More advanced riders are taught in their choice of an English or Western saddle. Ages 7-17. All horse lovers are welcome. We will have extra, trained staff available for horse lovers with special needs.
Weekly activities include:
- Riding Lesson: Campers are taught a new riding skill each day and given time to practice in the arena.
