Horses and Riding have always been an integral part of the identity of Path of Life Camp.  We currently have 32 horses, kept year-round, for summer camps, spring and fall horsemanship lessons, and trail rides most months of the year.  

Horse lovers with all levels of experience are always welcome at Path of Life!  Each year we have hundreds of children and adults ride for their very first time, and hundreds keep coming back year after year. 

Group lessons are 60 minutes long, with around 8 riders rotating through approximately 40 minutes of instruction and corral practice, finishing with a trail ride.  The primary benefit is affordability, at $10 for each 60 minute lesson.    Downsides include schedule rigidity and more "down time" while students rotate through their corral time.  This program is much better suited to beginners than advanced riders.  

Horsemanship requirements: Students must be at least 8 years of age for group lessons and at least 6 for private lessons.  Students must wear long pants made out of durable material. This excludes leggings, as they give little protection to the legs and cause the rider to slide in the saddle. Shoes with closed heels and toes (not crocs of slides) are required.  We provide ATSM certified helmets

Cancellation policy: We will alert by email and text message at least 4 hours prior to cancelling a lesson due to weather.  We have scheduled one makeup lesson at the end of the season for rainouts.  Personal cancellations can be made up with permission on a case-by-case basis, throughout the calendar, but no additional lessons will be scheduled.  IE If your child misses a Thursday lesson, they can make it up the following Tuesday or by joining the lesson immediately before or after their scheduled time.
