Horse Camps

Camp Guy Robinson is excited to partner with Bunker Park Stables for our horse Camp programs. Bunker Park Stables prides itself on well-trained horses, nicely groomed trails, beautiful scenery, and knowledgeable staff that will do their utmost to make your ride an experience to remember. Instruction is provided at the staging area and on the horses.

Safety is our top priority at horse Camp. For all horse programs, we recommend that participants wear heeled leather shoes or boots. Long pants and protective helmets are required of all participants. Helmets will be provided by the camp.

Our horse Camp is a progressive recreational riding program and is not intended to replace formal riding lessons. Alternative programs may be planned if weather conditions such as extreme heat, rain, or wind jeopardize the safety of campers or horses.
