If you don't want the details, click on registration to the left, or overnight camp to get a short summary of the 3 camps offered. Our overnight camp is an all girls equestrian immersion camp where the entire focus is that of horses and riding. Riders have the chance to ride 4 hours a day and have a horse to call their own (ExeQ Camp) or 2 hours a day and share a horse with 1 other camper (Happy Camper Camp). The time during the day that is not spent in a riding lesson is spent with horses, either training, grooming, driving, vaulting, trail riding, playing polo, navigating obstacle courses, trailering, haltering yearlings, and more.
This is an immersion camp, where non horse activities take a major back seat.
Philosophy: As for educating the young rider, this camp is unparalleled. Riders learn, through hands on experience, every aspect of horsemanship, using the most natural techniques, focusing on quiet, invisible communication. Chastain Mist Summer Camp enhances skills and develops the complete rider by emphasizing the importance of a horse's physical as well as mental well being.
The Details: The success of Chastain Mist is due in large part to the diligence and hard work that is put forth months before camp begins. Campers are presented with a beautiful facility that meets rigid health and safety standards, adult counselors that are trained in all procedures that have a true desire to ensure Chastain Mist lives up to each camper's expectation, and an adaptable curriculum that challenges every level of rider. We are confident that Chastain Mist is the #1 camp for any girl who loves horses and wants to become a better equestrian.
