Designed specifically for alumni of our program, this camp focuses on fun, fellowship, and time in the saddle without the pressure of competition or formal instruction. Alumni are welcome to attend on their own or with friends.

 

Collegiate Bound Summer Riding Camps

2026 Camp Dates:

  • Session I:  June 1-5

  • Session II:  June 8-12

  • Session III:  June 15-19

SPEND YOUR SUMMER RIDING WITH NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

These camps are designed for serious riders who aim to be recruited and compete at the collegiate level in the future. Riders applying for the camps must meet a minimum level of riding proficiency, and be comfortable jumping a course of jumps at 2’6”+ or schooling first-level dressage on unfamiliar horses. 

Participants in the camps will stay overnight in the dorms on the beautiful Emory & Henry University campus and will ride in several sessions per day at the Intermont Equestrian Center, home of the University’s 24-time national champion equestrian teams.

In addition, participants will have the opportunity to participate in activities in the local area that will allow them to enjoy the offerings of the Emory & Henry campus and the surrounding area, nestled in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains.
