2026 SUMMER RIDING CAMPS – DATES TO BE POSTED SOON!

## Cornerstone Ranch Summer Camps

Join us at Cornerstone Ranch for an exciting summer of horseback riding! Our camps are designed for children aged 8 to 14, whether they are beginners or have some experience. It’s the perfect opportunity for your child to learn and have fun in a safe environment.

**About Us**
Cornerstone Ranch is a licensed riding stable recognized by the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture, and we are authorized to operate recreational camps in Massachusetts. All our riding instructors are licensed to teach in the state and have extensive experience working with children. Every staff member has undergone thorough background checks and is trained and certified in first aid. We prioritize safety with strict protocols to protect all our campers.

**What Campers Will Learn**
Young horse enthusiasts will dive into the fundamentals of horseback riding, including how to groom, saddle, and care for their horse. We carefully match each child with a horse that suits their experience and comfort level. Full-day participants will have the opportunity to showcase their newly acquired skills in a fun horse show and party, which parents are invited to attend, at the end of the program!

**Schedule:**
– **Full-Day Participants**: Drop-off is at 8:30 a.m., with pick-up at 4:30 p.m. The horse show will conclude by 3 p.m. on Friday for an early dismissal.
– **Half-Day Participants**: Camp runs from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., featuring a quick sign-in and sign-out process to ensure smooth operations.

**What to Expect:**
– Enjoyable mounted horseback riding lessons from skilled, licensed instructors
– Learning the basics of saddling, mounting, and grooming
– Caring for and exercising our beloved horses
– Group riding adventures and trail riding experiences
– An authentic horse show, complete with ribbons for full-day participants
– A stylish camp T-shirt to tie-dye during the program
– An array of other fun outdoor activities!

**Who Can Join:**
Kids ages 8 to 14 are welcome! Previous experience is not required, but if you’d like, your child can take a few lessons with us to prepare before the program starts.

**What to Wear:**
Comfort is key! Please ensure your child wears long pants and closed-toe shoes with a small heel for riding. We provide helmets, which are cleaned and sanitized between uses. If preferred, your child may bring their riding helmet, as long as it is approved for horseback riding (not a bike helmet).

Get ready for an unforgettable summer filled with riding, learning, and smiles at Cornerstone Ranch! We look forward to welcoming your child to our camp and can’t wait to see them there!

**Important Note:**
There is a 90-day cancellation policy for refunds, and service fees are non-refundable under all circumstances. A link to the waiver, required health forms, and a camp letter with details about what to bring to camp will be sent in your confirmation email before the program begins.
