Many parents worry about whether horseback riding camp is safe, especially if their child does not have prior riding experience. Fortunately, Camp Tecumseh puts extra attention to making sure your child has the proper gear, the right training, and close supervision by experienced trainers.
All children are provided with ASTM/SEI certified helmet that properly fits their head. There is a safety check before each ride. Instructors look at the horse and the tack and check if the rider is in the proper physical or mental condition to ride.
The summer camp also matches campers to the right training level and pairs them with the right horse, with over 60 horses in their stable. During the session, riders are encouraged to build a bond with their horse by helping take care of it and spend a lot of time together.
The camp is certified by the Certified Horsemanship Association and the American Camping Association.
