For ages 3-5, preschool pony camp is about getting comfortable around horses and farm animals, and learning how to be safe on a farm. Campers will spend approximately 20 minutes each day riding their pony one-on-one with our instructor, with time spent learning the basics of mounting, dismounting, walking, steering and stopping. The rest of the time is spent in a group of just 4 kids playing equestrian-themed games and learning about grooming, horse care, and safety around the animals.

(Reminder: There is no preschool camp on Monday or Friday).

All activities are outdoors, and mask use is optional. In preschool camps there are only 4 other children in the camp.

No outside visitors at all are allowed on the farm between 9am and 4pm. Parents of children in our older camps are asked not to stay, and we encourage you to also drop off your child -- but if you would like to stay with your preschool-aged child for some or all of the camp, that's okay too.
