Camp Greystone

Camp Greystone is a North Carolina summer camp known for its animal-centered camp experiences. They have a dog camp where kids learn how to take care of puppies and a farm and garden camp where they learn how to take care of chickens, pigs, and bunnies. Plus, they also learn how to grow vegetables!

Their mission is to foster a deep love for animals, and they bring that into their unique horseback riding program. Campers are encouraged to form a connection with their horse and spend a lot of time with their favorite horses.

So even if their activities are very similar to what you'll find in other equestrian camps like drills, trail riding, and introduction to different riding disciplines, their approach is firmly grounded in building trust and respect between rider and steed. They learn to understand a horse's cues and guide the horse without hurting it.

Camp Greystone also arranges fun bonding activities, such as tubing down the river or building teepees together. And, of course, they'll have plenty of fun exploring the beautiful outdoors. It's around 4 hours away from Raleigh, NC.
