Summer camps at Cedarhill Farm provide a fun, safe, educational week of horse-riding and horse-related activities for beginners through intermediate riders ages 7 and older. Held weekly during the summer in our outdoor and soon to be built covered ring, camps are taught by highly qualified, enthusiastic instructors, who along with assistant instructors and great school horses, provide small group instruction in all aspects of horsemanship. Campers learn quickly, get personal attention and gain confidence in their riding skills.

New for 2009 Cedarhill will be offering an additional extended day until 5 P.M, Monday- Friday. Please note the days you are wishing to take advantage of this service on your registration form. There will be an additional charge of $25./day for this service. The extended day will be organized with one instructor and assistants as needed.

Cedarhill offers three unique camps: Beginner Horsemasters, Intermediate Travel Camp, and Advanced Showmanship. Beginner Horsemasters camp is taught by two instructors and three assistant instructors. We have a maximum number of twelve students per week. Riders may be divided into smaller groups to give them even more individual attention. Join us for a great summer horseback riding experience.
