Questions

Summer Camp FAQ

What ages can attend horse camp?

Summer horse camp at A Place for Dreamers is for children ages 4 to 16. Campers are grouped by age for stations and riding, so younger children are not asked to keep up with older ones.

How much does a week of horse camp cost?

Camp is $205 per child per session. The rate drops to $190 per child when you enroll two or more children or prepay three or more sessions. A $170 non-refundable registration deposit holds the spot, and the balance is due before the first day.

What are the camp hours?

Camp runs Monday to Thursday, with drop-off from 7:00 AM and pickup at 5:00 PM. Half-day sessions run 7:00–11:00 AM and 12:00–4:00 PM. Extended stay until 6:00 PM is available for $35 per session.

What should campers bring?

Pack a lunch (or add lunch for $7), extra clothes, insect repellent and a beach towel, and tell us about any medication in advance. Two snacks a day are provided, and breakfast is available for $5.

Will my child ride a horse by themselves?

Yes — by the end of the week, each camper works toward riding a horse around the arena on their own with a counselor nearby. Campers also spend time on the ground learning about horses and how to care for them.

Are camp dates for this year posted?

The most recent schedule listed nine Monday-to-Thursday sessions running from June 5 through August 3. Call (281) 407-0026 to confirm the current year's dates before you register.
