About Horse/Equine Camp

Equine campers get the unique experience of learning about and working with horses during their week at camp. Each camper works to develop the skills to safely tie, groom, saddle, bridle, mount, and ride a horse both in the arena and out on the trail. Campers will also practice controlling their horse at a walk and trot, as well as learn the different trot positions. Every camper and their horse will develop a unique partnership, as they further understand his/her nature and develop better balance throughout the week. ‍

Horse Safety

We require that every camper wear a helmet when riding a horse. All of our wranglers are extensively trained in horse safety and our full-time Ranch Director is responsible for overseeing everything from trail rides to horse and barn maintenance.

New for Day Camp 2025

Increased Experience in Day Camp Leadership

Our ministry and staff are growing, bringing more staff experience in day camp direction and programming.

Bring a Packed Lunch Daily

Please pack a daily lunch that your camper will enjoy eating. Packing your camper’s lunch allows special diets and preferences to be better accommodated. It also prevents increasing food costs and food waste. This gives opportunity for flexible mealtimes independent of other camp schedules, as well as creative locations for meals -- such as outdoor picnics, for example! Camp Carl will provide a substantial and yummy daily snack!

Find Transportation for Your Day Camper

We are finding that about a third of our day campers require or desire camp transportation. Coordinating transportation has been a rising expense, costing both dollars and hours. As we seek to steward our resources well, we’re encouraging families to share rides with friends or connect with your church about forming a rideshare group.
