Parents want an affordable camp experience for their children that provides safe, active, healthy and educational activities. Most of our Summer Camps are five days a week, Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm unless otherwise specified and will cost $385. Summer Day Camps are scheduled based on age and riding experience of the Campers. Riders from other barns interested in attending a camp with a required minimum riding level and who are not sure of their eligibility may schedule an Evaluation Lesson before registering for camp.

LEC’s new facility houses over 30 wonderful lesson horses of all shapes, sizes, and levels that can teach both kids and adults. We have ponies that can give riding lessons to kids as young as three as well as advanced horses that are show quality. Among these, there are 3-gaited, 5-gaited and Western horses to choose from. Every week can be an adventure on a new mount or you can stick with an old favorite; but no matter what you choose, all of our horses and ponies are reliable, experienced, and lots of fun. As your skill level grows LEC always has a horse for you!
