Join the fun crew at Skibbereen Farm this summer as boys and girls explore the world of horses! Summer Camp offers campers the opportunity to learn how to care for horses, ride properly and make new friends - both 2-legged and 4-legged!
Who's Camp For?
Skibbereen horseback riding summer camp is designed for boys and girls ages 5 and up who want to experience riding at all levels. Each camp will feature activities for riders who are new to horseback riding and offer challenges to more experienced riders.
