Specialty Summer Camps
Mountain Biking Camp, Equestrian Camp, Skateboard Camp & More!

The Low-Down on Specialty Camps

This year, Cali Camp offers seven special camps so campers can concentrate on what they are into the most: Academic Classes, Aerial Arts, Equestrian Camp, Mountain Biking Camp, Leadership, Skateboard Camp and three Sports Camps – Soccer Camp, Basketball Camp and Tennis Camp.

Campers spend half their day (that’s two and a half hours) on the specialty and the other part of the day goofing, competing in or just enjoying other activities, sportsor quiet moments with nature. In all, the summer camp season hosts about thirty different activities. Everyone gets time in the pool, daily.

Cali Camp is a Monday-Friday (9 week) day camp that runs June 17th - August 18th, 2013. Need to know the dates of specialty or other camps? Find them on our calendar!

A Perfect Horseback Riding Summer

EQUESTRIAN CAMP

Take two rings that cater to different level equestrians, horses that will be your bff for life, miles of trails in the beauty of the mountains, accommodations for shade around the barn and you have a sublime equestrian session we call Equestrian Camp.

Lessons are in English and, to make sure every rider has the best possible experience, we send home a pre-summer survey to each camper prior to camp to help determine skill levels before they put a foot in a stirrup.   BTW riders must wear boots with heels and long pants.  We provide helmets, but riders may bring their own if they wish.

This is a kids camp favorite, so places in this specialty camp sell fast.
