More Spring and Summer Camp Information
Level Green Riding School has been offering a fun and instructive English riding
camp for the last 25 years. Located on 200 acres beside the James River, campers of all levels of riding abilities, ages 7
to 16, are offered opportunities to enhance their skills as well as to enjoy trail rides through woods, fields, and along
the river. Experienced riders are given opportunities to jump cross country fences as well as riding courses in the ring.
Campers new to English riding are giving individual instruction for the first two days of camp.
We provide transportation
from 2 points in Chesterfield on the Level Green bus, which is included in the total price. Our facilities include 45 horses
and ponies, 39 stables, 2 riding rings, cross country course and riding trails. Qualified and experienced staff members supervise
all activities. Campers ride twice a day and are assigned a horse or pony to look after for the week where they learn feeding,
grooming and stable management. Also, campers have two lectures a day on a variety of subjects such as horse shoeing, horse
care, and stable management. Campers have a riding demonstration for parents and award ceremony every Friday afternoon.
What to bring to camp -
Campers should come to camp in shorts and tennis shoes and bring long pants or
chaps, (Please no capri pants), a helmet (a well fitting bike helmet is okay), and a shoe or boot with a flat sole and 1/2
to 1 inch heel for riding. (Please no boots with large treads.) Campers should also bring their lunch, drinks, and snacks
in a cooler. If rain is likely, please bring a change of shirt and raincoat, no rain ponchos please.
