Bryn Mawr Horseback Riding Camp offers one or two-week sessions for girls ages 8 to 16 at our premier all-girls sleepaway camp. Beginning to advanced riders receive quality instruction in hunt seat equitation, hunter/jumper riding and dressage, while still participating in traditional summer camp activities like swimming, tennis, and arts and crafts.

Tucked away among the pastoral beauty of rustic Northeastern Pennsylvania, Bryn Mawr Horseback Riding Camp is located just 100 miles from New York City, 135 miles from Philadelphia, and 250 miles from the Washington, D.C. metro area.

Each riding camper will attend two periods of Horseback Riding Lessons per day, as well as one session of on-the-ground Horsemanship and one period of Barn Management, for a total of four hours of horse riding and care instruction.

Campers are paired with horses based on ability and personality. Each camper will ride three to five different horses while at camp, interacting with a variety of equine personalities while building confidence and versatility as a rider.

Every day includes one formal arena lesson and one informal lesson that will involve trail riding, bareback riding, or games on horseback.

    Advanced riders will improve their equitation skills on the flat and over jumps while also enjoying specialized lessons catering to their areas of interest.
    Beginners will focus on basic position, safety skills, and the fundamentals of hunt seat riding.
    Horsemanship will provide campers with instructions in showmanship and horse training.
    In Barn Management, your camper will learn how to properly care for horses, including basics in feeding and equine first aid.
    Throughout the session, campers will participate in Special Horse Camp Activities such as horse shows, gymkhanas, riding demonstrations, and clinics. Each session will culminate in a day long hunter-jumper horse show for campers of all skill levels.

All equestrian activities will take place at Bryn Mawr Farms, an upscale 50 acre full-service riding facility. The property includes over 20 oversized stalls, three wash stalls with hot and cold water, three large tack rooms, and seven paddocks for turnout. Bryn Mawr farms also boasts an on-site nurse and examination room.

Bryn Mawr Farms also has both an indoor and an outdoor arena. The indoor arena is over 10,000 square feet in size, perfect for working on jumping gymnastics or equetation on days when the weather is less than ideal. This arena includes a heated/air conditioned viewing room, specialized footing and a built-in sound system. At 100x200 feet, our outdoor arena boasts a full course of ten jumps, permanent dressage letters and is large enough to work a dressage test, host a hunter/jumper show class or hold two simultaneous group lessons.

Along with the arenas, Bryn Mawr Farms has acres of trails winding through a pine forest, perfect for relaxing on a hot summer day. We also have several fields equipped with cross-country jumps for riders that are interested in eventing
