Equine Camps

Oakland School’s Equine Camps give students the opportunity to build horsemanship skills while enjoying the natural beauty of our 450-acre campus. Guided by our experienced , campers spend time riding, grooming, and caring for horses while learning the responsibility, confidence, and teamwork that come from working with animals. Each camp offers a supportive, hands-on environment where riders of all experience levels can grow their skills and deepen their connection with horses.
