About the event
🐴 Pony Up campers will get their fill of horse time - riding lessons, vaulting barrels, hands-on learning and horse-y fun! This unique opportunity will hugely level up your horse know-how! Pony games, trail ride scavenger hunt, pool plunges and an end-of-week showcase for parents to enjoy some of the horsey fun are just a few highlights to the week.
Pony Up Camp is a specialty camp focusing on horsemanship, riding, vaulting and horse care with lots of extra time with our pony pals! No prior experience is necessary although campers will be supported based on their level of experience.
Pony Up Camp isn't just any camp! It is a full week of bouncy castles, swimming, horseback riding, barrel horses, petting zoo escapades and more! This fun packed week will be sure to make memories and friends that last a lifetime! In addition, campers will enjoy lots of time with animals in the Piccadilly Zoo, daily swimming, games, crafts and all kinds of other fun!
Riding Showcase Rodeo 🦄 will be Friday, August 23 from 3:00-4:00PM. Parents are invited to come watch the Pony Games and be introduced to pony and animal friends made during the week.
With safety our top priority, our fun-making Camp Team is comprised of qualified lifeguards, first aiders, riding coaches and a first aider or two just for good measure. We have a Plan to Protect as well as ascribe and exceed Equestrian Canada standards.
To ensure fun is had by all, each swimmer will be required to complete a swim test on the first day of camp as well as a mandatory horse safety demonstration. Helmets are mandatory when horseback riding. Feel free to use your own or our certified helmets.
