Welcome to the Equestrian Camp Pages

This section covers everthing you need to know about our Equestrian Program and Riding Lessons. 


2008 Equestrian Camp
Equestrian Camp is an intensive equestrian program. Girls 11 years old (by the first day of session chosen) to 15 are eligible. Participants must also be able to canter and perform low jumps and wish to spend a majority of their time at the stables. Participants in the program spend up to six hours a day at the stables and only have one elective activity per day. Campers planning on signing up for Equestrian Camp will need to send a reference from their most recent Riding Instructor (other than Camp Mohawk) stating their level of riding ability when they register before being accepted into the program.

Only six campers per week are accepted into the Equestrian Program.  Please refer to our Dates and Fees Section for availability.

Equestrian Camp Refund Policy
Because of the very limited space in Equestrian Camp sessions and the need for serious riders to seek alternatives early if Mohawk sessions are filled, the cancellation and refund policy for Equestrian Camp participants is as follows:

                1. Any cancellation received in writing or email (info@campmohawk.org) prior to April 1st  will result in a refund of all fees paid minus the $200.00 deposit regardless of reason of cancellation.

            2.  Prior to attendance: NO REFUNDS will be made for cancellations received after April 1st except in cases of documented medical reasons.  In the event of documented medical reasons for cancellation, a refund will be issued for 50% of fees paid after the deposit has been subtracted.

              3. Once a child has begun her camp experience, no refund will be issued for any part of camp fees paid if the child leaves camp before the session(s) she is registered for are completed except in the case of a documented medical reason.  Any camper withdrawn from camp for reasons related to homesickness will not be issued a refund.  In the event of a documented medical reason other than those related to homesickness, a refund will be issued for 50% of the prorated fees minus the deposit

            4. Riding Fees: If inclement weather results in a camper being unable to ride for more than two days in a one week period, a refund equal to 1/5 of the weekly riding fee paid will be refunded upon request for each subsequent day that a riding lesson participant cannot ride due to weather related causes.

            5. If you are uncomfortable with the above Refund Policy, please consider camp cancellation insurance or perhaps another camp program.  Information about camp cancellation insurance is available at www.mycampprotector.com or www.travmark.com
