ISD 728 Community Education

Experience everyday life at a barn, including activities such as daily riding, grooming and caring for the horses (including bathing and feeding), and learning how to braid manes and tails with ribbon. Spend time outdoors and build lasting friendships with fellow horse lovers in a structured and positive environment. Campers will be grouped with others of similar riding experience. Riding takes about 1 hour per day in an arena (no trails) and consists of learning how to steer, stop, turn and walk/trot on their own. Wear long pants, closed-toed shoes (no flip-flops!), and appropriate clothes for weather inside and outside of the barn. Bring sunscreen, a hat, bug spray, a water bottle, snacks and a lunch each day. You can also bring treats for the horses if you want. Helmets are provided. Camps are held rain or shine, as the facility has an indoor barn and arena. Please complete and submit the online Boulder Pointe Camp Waiver Form found here.
