                      Burgundy Farm Summer Day Camp is proud to announce the return of our successful camp program Burgundy Horsemanship Camp!  

                      Campers will begin their day by arriving at Burgundy Farm Summer Day Camp by 8:30 am each day. After being checked in by their counselors, they will make the short wooded walk to the Burgundy Stables for the horsemanship portion of their program, from 9 am to 1 pm. An experienced and qualified instructor from Burgundy Stables will lead this part of the camp day, with Burgundy Farm Summer Day Camp counselors supporting all logistics and non-riding activities.

                      What is Horsemanship Camp? Horsemanship Camp is a fun way for kids to learn about horses. This camp is designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of those with experience and introduce horsemanship to those unfamiliar with horses. All levels of riders are welcome, from beginners to advanced. Throughout the week, campers will learn about the operation of a small horse farm, including the animals, how to care for them, and riding skills.

                      Burgundy Stables does not run just a “riding camp.” We run a “horsemanship camp.” The philosophy of this camp is that children should have fun while they learn. Campers learn about the many aspects of how to ride but also what it takes to care for a horse! To provide this broad experience, campers will be introduced to the necessary horse-related chores, including cleaning stalls, filling water buckets, and throwing hay. Please let your camper know that some dirty work and riding will be involved! Campers will have the opportunity to ride every other day during the camp, and on non-riding days they will learn all about the work it takes to run a small horse farm. It is rewarding when campers realize they’re learning to care for a horse and that it’s a big animal and a big responsibility!

                      Campers will return to Burgundy Farm Summer Day Camp after lunch at Burgundy Stables. In the afternoon, they will have instructional swim time in Burgundy’s outdoor pool, a chance to enjoy Burgundy’s campus and playgrounds and participate in camp-wide programming. The highlight of the afternoon portion of this camp will be the pool time campers have each day. What better way to cool down after a morning of working and riding at Burgundy Stables than participating in swim lessons with our experienced swim staff and lifeguards?

                      Riders are responsible for providing their own apparel, including an ASTM/SEI-approved helmet, gloves, boots, or hard-soled shoes with heels, and riding breeches/jodhpurs or other long-legged pants (no shorts). There are a small number of helmets available for general use, but we recommend that all campers purchase their own helmets for proper fit and safety.

                              Burgundy Farm Summer Day Camp is proud to announce the return of our successful camp program Burgundy Horsemanship Camp!  

                              Campers will begin their day by arriving at Burgundy Farm Summer Day Camp by 8:30 am each day. After being checked in by their counselors, they will make the short wooded walk to the Burgundy Stables for the horsemanship portion of their program, from 9 am to 1 pm. An experienced and qualified instructor from Burgundy Stables will lead this part of the camp day, with Burgundy Farm Summer Day Camp counselors supporting all logistics and non-riding activities.

                              What is Horsemanship Camp? Horsemanship Camp is a fun way for kids to learn about horses. This camp is designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of those with experience and introduce horsemanship to those unfamiliar with horses. All levels of riders are welcome, from beginners to advanced. Throughout the week, campers will learn about the operation of a small horse farm, including the animals, how to care for them, and riding skills.

                              Burgundy Stables does not run just a “riding camp.” We run a “horsemanship camp.” The philosophy of this camp is that children should have fun while they learn. Campers learn about the many aspects of how to ride but also what it takes to care for a horse! To provide this broad experience, campers will be introduced to the necessary horse-related chores, including cleaning stalls, filling water buckets, and throwing hay. Please let your camper know that some dirty work and riding will be involved! Campers will have the opportunity to ride every other day during the camp, and on non-riding days they will learn all about the work it takes to run a small horse farm. It is rewarding when campers realize they’re learning to care for a horse and that it’s a big animal and a big responsibility!

                              Campers will return to Burgundy Farm Summer Day Camp after lunch at Burgundy Stables. In the afternoon, they will have instructional swim time in Burgundy’s outdoor pool, a chance to enjoy Burgundy’s campus and playgrounds and participate in camp-wide programming. The highlight of the afternoon portion of this camp will be the pool time campers have each day. What better way to cool down after a morning of working and riding at Burgundy Stables than participating in swim lessons with our experienced swim staff and lifeguards?

                              Riders are responsible for providing their own apparel, including an ASTM/SEI-approved helmet, gloves, boots, or hard-soled shoes with heels, and riding breeches/jodhpurs or other long-legged pants (no shorts). There are a small number of helmets available for general use, but we recommend that all campers purchase their own helmets for proper fit and safety.

                                  The Counselor in Training (CIT) Leadership Program is an exciting opportunity for young teens who are ready to take on real responsibility, build leadership skills, and gain valuable experience in a camp environment. Designed for kids ages 12-15 (rising 7th – 10th graders), this program allows participants to support the counselors in the day-to-day operation of the camp while also learning essential life skills and teamwork.

                                  As a CIT, you’ll assist in camp activities, help lead younger campers, and contribute to the smooth running of the camp, all while under the guidance of experienced counselors. This hands-on experience gives you a chance to step into a leadership role, build confidence, and develop problem-solving and decision-making skills.

                                  Throughout the summer, CITs will engage in meaningful training sessions, including First Aid, CPR, and AED certification, as well as Babysitting Certification. These certifications not only provide practical skills but also boost your ability to respond confidently in any situation.

                                  In addition to learning from the counselors, CITs will bond with each other through team-building activities, sharing experiences, and reflecting on their growth. You’ll also keep a journal throughout the summer to record notes, reflections, ideas, or anything that inspires you during your journey. This journal becomes a valuable tool for personal growth and helps you track your progress as you develop leadership qualities.

                                  The CIT Leadership Program is about more than just fun and responsibility—it’s about preparing you for the future. Through this program, you’ll develop essential life skills like perseverance, resilience, compassion, kindness, conflict resolution, time management, and more. By the end of the summer, you’ll be equipped with the skills and confidence needed to be part of the next generation of leaders.

                                  Join the CIT Leadership Program and take the first step towards becoming a positive, inspiring leader in your community!

                                  *Participation in the CIT program places that individual on track to be a Junior Counselor when they turn 16.

                                  *CITs are placed in every camp at Burgundy as they are an integral part of the day to day operation of the camp, but CIT’s will have the option to share their preferred camp placements.  While we canot gurantee a CIT will get one of their top choices, we do our best to make sure that each CIT is happy with thier placement.

                                  *In recognition of their hard work CITs are paid a $50 stipend at the end of each session.
