Horseback Skills Camps…a really exciting addition to our summer program offerings

Our second and third generation families may recall our week-long “Skill Sessions” which were offered in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Our “Skill Session” camps allowed campers the opportunity to participate in concentrated skill development programs in several key activity areas offered at camp.

This summer, under the direction of Louise Hardman, our year-round Equestrian Director, we are re-introducing a one-week skills camp at Blue Star! An Equestrian Skills Camp will be offered Sunday, June 8th through Saturday, June 14th.

A truly unique camp experience, our Horseback Skills Camp will provide campers the opportunity to become stronger riders along side other campers that are motivated to further develop Equestrian skills and knowledge. ​Dedicated time spent at the barn during Horseback Skills Camp will create opportunities for advancement in riding skills well beyond what is possible in a normal camp session. Blue Star Horseback Skills Camp will be all about developing friendships and embracing adventures in the ring and on the trail!​

We are proud to be providing our campers with this unique opportunity to “concentrate” on horseback skill development this summer AND are considering adding additional “skill development” sessions in other Blue Star activity areas for future summers!

Let us know what “skill sessions” you would like to see introduced in future summers by email, tweet, instagram or our facebook page!
