The International Riding
Camp in Greenfield
Park, NY, was established
in 1978 for girls who
love horses and riding.
The camp provides the
environment in which
horse lovers can experience
various riding disciplines:
hunt seat equitation,
side-saddle, polo and
foxhunting. It is unusual
for a camp to offer
so many equestrian experiences,
but we believe that
a developing rider should
be able to learn as
much as possible about
horses and the different
ways they are used.
Our methods of teaching
riding enable students
to experience success
in graduated steps promoting
their self esteem and
confidence. Girls will
use the riding skills
they learn at this camp
the rest of their lives.
International Riding
Camp is accredited by
the American Camping
Association.
