Shenanigans Farm Summer Camp

Summer Camp 2026

Summer at the farm is all about horses, laughter, and making memories that last a lifetime!

Our camps are designed for riders ages 3–14 with both half-day and full-day options available. Campers ride daily, learn hands-on horsemanship, and spend their days making new friends and having fun.

We typically offer 1–2 camps each month during the summer, so there’s a spot for every horse-loving kid. Stay tuned here or on our Facebook page for Summer 2026 dates, which will be posted in Spring 2026.

My daughter had an absolute blast at Shenanigans Farm this summer! Every day she came home talking about the horses, the games, and how much fun she had with the other kids. The staff was so kind and patient, and the environment felt safe and welcoming from day one.
