Drop-In DAY CAMPS
In order to ensure we are complying with C-19 gathering sizes, we have to manage Drop-Ins a bit differently this year. Please follow the easy instructions below:
We require a 48-hour notice for Drop-In Riding
and, a 24-hour notice for Drop-In Non Riding.
1. Register Online
2. Call 587-894-2567, leave message with child's name, date of drop in, and camp type: Riding/Non-Riding.
3. We will notify you if we have exceeded maximum allowable campers.
Thank you for working together.

Clip Clop Drop-In Riding Camps are filled with fun and interesting horse-related activities. Clip Clop Riders are introduced to all things horses through crafts, interactive games and of course, riding lessons. Our excellent Camp Leaders teach campers about safety around horses and the stables; bonding with horse, the parts of the horse, grooming, tacking and basic horsemanship in both English and Western styles of riding (no previous experience required).
Horse time at camp is divided into two parts:
Horse Play – Riders learn horsemanship skills through theory and hands-on; anatomy, nutrition, feeding, caring for horses, by engaging in fun activities and games.
Riding – Riders will prepare horses to ride, and ride, once per day, for approximately 2 hours. Riders will learn how to lead, brush and tack up their horses for the lesson.
