Where Campers and Horses Connect

Whether your camper is saddling up for the first time or growing their skills, our equestrian programs offer hands-on experiences with horses in a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment.

Equestrian Camps

Our equestrian programs are a popular part of Summer Overnight Camp at YMCA Camp Piomingo, offering a blend of barn time, riding instruction, and classic camp experiences.

  • Equestrian Camp (Ages 8–16): One-week or two-week sessions
  • Equestrian Mini Camp (Ages 7–12): 3-day, 2-night intro experience

Campers spend mornings with the horses and afternoons enjoying cabin activities, crafts, and adventures with their peers.

Meet Our Horses

Our barn is home to a diverse and well-loved herd. Each horse has a personality of their own—and plays a role in helping campers build trust, patience, and empathy.
