Horseback Riding Camps

Give your kids a camp experience to remember at Diettrich Farm. Our hands-on horseback riding camps offer a safe and nurturing environment to learn and explore horse care and riding skills. Diettrich Farm has a variety of camp styles to best fit your schedule, from summer day camps to mini camps over holiday breaks.

Summer Camp 2024

Make friends and build leadership skills in a safe and nurturing environment. During camp, each camper will participate in hands-on experiences to learn about horses, chickens, pond life, and gardening. Daily activities include grooming, tacking up, riding, barn chores, nature exploration, and art. At the end of the week, campers put on a fun show demonstration for friends and family.

Camp runs Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for children ages 5-12. All campers must bring a lunch and refillable water bottle. Recommended farm attire is comfortable long pants and walking shoes. Be sure to apply sunscreen and bug spray, too. If you have smooth-soled boots with a heel for riding, please bring those, too. Helmets will be provided.

Diettrich Farm Community

"My 7 year old son Klyde was very excited to go and sad when it ended a week later. Very good place to send your child."

Clyde Prince

"The Diettrich Farm is so much more than horsemanship but uses that as its platform to connect humans and animals (horses, frogs, chickens, dogs, cats, birds and more!). During her time at the Farm, our daughter became more confident, self-aware and independent, deepened her appreciation of nature, and developed new friendships from all over the country that endure."

Cindy Dooley

"It's really an amazing place to be. You can tell Lynn really loves what she does and she loves to share the wonderful world that is horses with her visitors. I highly recommend! Also, there is a BnB on the premises. It's so immaculate &charming. I can't rave enough!"

Ruby Rorschach

"There are so many great things I can say about Diettrich Farm. Such a beautiful place. LYNN IS THE OWNER, such a wonderful woman. Such a tranquil escape. The houses, trees, the whole package. I will for sure return."

Tina Norris

"In the summer of 2020 I signed my daughter up for a week of camp. With COVID & lock down I was witnessing her spark diminish & her spirit start to crack. The first day of camp was literally a saving grace for her, each day I picked her up she didn’t even want to leave. She had so much to share about her activities & what she learned. I felt like she really had a connection to this & we signed her up for weekly lessons."

Brittany Peterson

"Our family of 5 (9, 7 and 5) had an amazing experience at Lynn’s farm. My children enjoyed helping and learned so much during their lessons with Lynn. She is so patient with a loving firmness that the kids responded so well to. We felt like family after our short stay!"
