Come to Willow Hill for a complete immersion into the world of horses. From dawn till dusk, horses come first! Experience all the joys and fantasies of horse lovers: learning to post and canter, galloping in the field over jumps, riding the mountain trails and competing in horse shows. Whether you are an aspiring Olympian, horse trainer or pleasure rider, Willow Hill Farm Camp is the place to spend those long summer days with passionate, like-minded horse lovers in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. Get ready for the summer of your life!

Our certified instructors and wonderfully schooled horses will help you increase your riding skills immeasurably through lessons in jumping, dressage and cross-country. We accept 32 resident campers and 5 day campers per session; you’ll ride up to four hours daily on the same horse, and participate in all aspects of horse care: grooming, tacking up, cooling out, feeding, watering and training.

You’ll also make unforgettable memories riding through the mountains – we are situated on 500 acres of the picturesque Ausable River valley – and meeting new friends, equine and otherwise!

For the winter months, from September to June, check out our High School Horsemanship Program. We provide horse-hungry teenager girls the opportunity to live and work with horses while attending the local public high school. Chores in the morning and evening, daily lessons, trail rides and preparation for optional weekend shows fill out the days.

This unique learning experience attracts students from all over the country. It cultivates responsibility, encourages camaraderie and exposes students to all facets of the horse industry while providing a solid foundation toward a career in horses, excellence in competition or simply responsible horse ownership. Ask us about some of our high school alumni! We’re so proud of them!
