Leadership Focus is for teens who are excited about leadership, interested in working with kids, or who want to be a camp counselor in the future. This two-week session will combine a traditional camp experience with hands-on leadership opportunities and skills workshops. This program is a great introduction to Sealth’s Counselor-In-Training and Riding-Staff-In-Training programs.

For riders who have completed at least two weeks of horse camp or taken riding lessons. Campers must be able to independently control a horse at a walk. They’ll learn new skills in the arena and expand their knowledge of horses through ground lessons.

Beginner sessions are for those who have never ridden before, or who have only ridden a few times. Novice horseback riders will learn to start, stop, steer, and to control their horses at a walk. They will also practice new skills through horseback games and drills in the arena, then head out on a trail ride.
