Equine Escapes is excited to offer Summer Horse Camp 2012! We are targeting ages 6-14, but may take other ages depending on the group dynamics and information provided on the Camper Intake Form. Please contact us if you have a child outside of the 6-14 range that you think would be a good fit for our camp programs!

We are conveniently located in Issaquah, 20 minutes from Seattle and 5 minutes from I-90.
Equine Escapes Horse Camp is a Day Camp, centered around the care and feel for the horse, as well as horsemanship, riding lessons and horseback games. Our Adventurers Campers can expect to spend a bit of time exploring the trails at local parks. The Adventurers II Campers will be on the trails EVERY DAY and may even get to go swimming with the horses! Additionally, our campers will learn about wildlife and nature on our 20 acres ranch and put their newly learned knowledge to work with different activities. For the hot summer days, your child may have the opportunity to go for a dip in our pool or hang out with all of our farm critters in the shade!
