Still Waters Equestrian Academy is looking forward to our 2023 Summer Day Camps. Schedule will be available and registrations will be live beginning January 15. Please contact us if we can provide any information before that time!
Camps are targeted towards youth ages 5– 12 with a half day camp for younger riders and a full day camp for riders 8 and older. We also offer a special Mother-Daughter camp experience.
