Put on your thinking caps because there is a test if you want to try for the certificate. But don’t worry, our CHA qualified instructors will prepare you for both the written and riding portions required. It’s not all hard work . . . we’ll mix in plenty of games, spiritual lessons, delicious food, and other camp activities.

You did it!!! You passed Level 2.
This advanced camp will help develop your technical riding skills and your mental knowledge. In the barn, many topics will be explored, including equine nutrition, analyzing horse behaviour, and tack use and care. During the mounted lessons, we will be focusing on developing and effectively using aids, riding figures, and progressing your skills at a lope. Out on the trail, you will continue to become an even safer and more responsible trail rider. 
Depending on how well you advance, there may be an opportunity to get a taste of the English riding world by trying some small jumps. On the last day, you can challenge the riding and written tests to see if you will receive your certificate!
If a camper is planning to serve at camp this summer, part of their training will be coaching campers. ​
