Here are all the details:

What:

Adult Horse Camp with Yoga, Riding, DIY/Crafts, Thai Stretching with a Licensed Massage Therapist, More Riding, Good food, Fun, and probably some Silliness.

When:

10 AM to 4:30 PM (approximately) on the dates listed above.

Where:

North Ann Arbor at WilloWard Equestrian, just minutes away from the Zeeb Rd. exit off of I-94.

Why:

To put the JOY back in riding!

How much:

$185 if you ride one of our lovely lesson horses. There is a $25 additional haul-in fee if you would like to bring your own horse. Lunch and snacks are included! *see below

How to sign up:

Follow the link above and click on the Paypal button at the bottom. After your payment processes, you will be redirected to a sign up for where you can choose your camp date.



Do I need past riding experience?

Nope.

Do I need my own horse?

Nope, but you can bring one if you want.

Is there a weight limit?

Nope. We are a body positive riding program and have a couple of lesson horses who can easily accommodate larger riders.

Do I have to wear a helmet?

Yes. Brains are important. (If you doubt me, think about all the people you have met who don't have one.) Loaner helmets are available if you don't have one of your own.

*Dietary restrictions are no problemo! You will be able to add food requests on the sign up form after payment processing.

Curious about what we do all day at the Privateer Riding Academy Adult Horse Camps? This is a typical day.

I mean, it's a typical day if you would call something this fun and awesome "typical" 😁

We don't finalize the schedule until everyone has signed up. This way, we can customize it to the needs and interests of our campers.

The end result is a bespoke equestrian experience (sounds pretty fancy, huh? 😉)

We still have a few openings for each of the following dates:

🎠 August 16, 2025
🎠 August 30, 2025
🎠 Sept 27, 2025 *SOLD OUT*
