Program Add-Ons
Optional add-ons for campers in Junior and Senior Village.
Perfect for campers who want to participate in traditional camp activities, but also spend a large part of their day with horses. Designed for beginner to intermediate riders, the Half Day Riding Program includes ring lessons, unmounted theory lessons, trail rides and our famous river ride!
Camp Friendship Equestrian Center believes that teaching safe horsemanship practices and caring for these wonderful animals are just as important as learning to ride. For that reason, campers are responsible for grooming and tacking their horses, as well as helping with basic barn chores to ensure our horses are comfortable.
The Half Day Riding Program takes up 3 of a camper’s 5 selected activities and is a great option to develop the fundamental skills of horsemanship in a fun, safe environment while getting to enjoy all that our traditional camp has to offer.
Camp Friendship offers a specialized Half Day Tennis Program for all levels – from beginner to advanced. Designed by our certified tennis professional Alina Ackenbom, the program gives campers the chance to work with Alina and her team of coaches to improve the fundamentals of their game and enhance their skills through instructional activities, games and matches.
The Half Day Tennis Program takes up 3 of a camper’s 5 selected activities, and is a great way to make new friends on and off the tennis court!
