Horse Camp

Your child will enjoy a fun-filled week with horses at the Freeport Park District’s Horse Camp, where children will interact with horses as well as other children. Campers will ride each day, bathe and groom a horse, play games, and make a craft to take home. At completion of camp, campers will get to paint on a real horse! Helmets must be worn while riding; a limited number are available. Bicycle helmets are acceptable for use while riding. Campers need to wear long pants and closed-toe shoes each day. Bring a change of clothes and a snack for each day of camp.

Horse Camp is for children ages 5-16 years old. Camp runs Monday-Friday, Aug. 10-14, from 2-6 p.m. Cost is (Resident/Non-resident) $137/$158. Register now. Horse Camp will be held at Lily Creek Ridge, 3238 W. Lily Creek Road.
