Frequently Asked Questions
Summer Camp |
| Q: | Are there refunds? |
| A: | We have saved your camper a spot for the week and turned other campers away. We do not offer refunds. If there is a spot in another week of camp, we are happy to offer you that spot.
|
| Q: | How much does camp cost? |
| A: | Camp is $450 for the week.
|
| Q: | May I stay and take pictures or watch? |
| A: | We work very hard to create a positive environment where kids feel safe to do brave things they would not normally do. Having parents hanging out disrupts that environment for the campers. We will take pictures and share them with you!

| Q: | What is horse camp all about? |
| A: | With a mission of connecting children to nature through equine-based education, Stoney Oaks Ranch connects thousands of kids to amazing animals through summer horse day camps. Each day is planned by dividing our campers into small groups to ensure their safety and to create a uniquely personal relationship with each camper. Campers start each day with 'circle time' to talk about the activities and expectations for the day. Each day highlights a positive quality, such as leadership, compassion, and bravery, to focus on and recognize throughout the day. Then we dive right into the equine world where they have hands on education about the care, anatomy, tack, and riding skills. Each day builds on the previous one to increase skills and confidence levels of each camper. The remainder of the day is a time for creativity through crafts, fun games, painting horses, interacting with other farm animals and so much more. The campers will learn compassion for each other and the animals, as well as leadership skills and teamwork through our entire program. At the close of each day, we will ask campers to acknowledge other campers who they saw as an example of our daily positive quality. Our campers leave the last day of camp knowing how brave, special, and capable they are. They leave with new, like-minded friends, compassion for animals and a confidence that only comes from working with horses.
