About Our Camps
|
2019 marks our eleventh year to offer the highest quality riding and horsemanship camps to girls and young women 9 to 18 years of age at Hill Country Equestrian Lodge. Here, amidst the natural beauty and tranquility of the Texas Hill Country, we combine in-depth, individualized riding instruction and unique recreational activities in an environment of fun, encouragement, and camaraderie. With a limit of only 12 campers per weekly session, and a student to instructor ratio of no greater than 3 to 1, there is no better place for your camper to improve her horsemanship skills, whether Western or English. A camper may bring her own horse at no additional charge, or she may be carefully matched with one of our ranch's quiet, yet responsive horses. There is no need for campers to share a horse.
In addition, to the instructional sessions, campers take daily trail rides through the beautiful countryside of our ranch, and in the adjoining 5500 acre Hill Country State Natural Area. All campers are also responsible for the care and well-being of the horse they are riding throughout their stay. Outside of our time with the horses, campers are treated to swimming, cook-outs, tubing on the Medina river, rodeos, and other recreational opportunities. Our meals are tasty, ample, and nutritious.

We offer three 1-week sessions back to back, June 16-22, June 23-29, and June 30- July 6, 2019. Campers may stay one week, two weeks, or all three weeks, depending on our availability. (There is also a parent or relative/ camper option for the 3rd session, if desired.) Campers arrive on a Sunday afternoon, and stay through noon of the following Saturday after the demonstration of the skills they have learned, which is presented to the parents and others who have come to pick up their campers. Those campers continuing through to the following week's session may remain at the ranch through the weekend. Click here for details, rates, and a camp application.
