Triton Summer Camp 2013
Summer Camp is aimed toward children on a traditional school calendar or children that track out during the summer months. 2013 camp will run weekly Monday thru Friday during the weeks listed above. Triton Stables Summer Camp was implemented to provide campers with a safe, fun and educational riding experience, for those new to horses as well as for the accomplished rider.
Summer Camp, in order to best serve each family’s needs, is divided into Full Day Camp and Half Day Camp. All campers are divided into small groups according to riding ability and students are mounted on horses appropriate to their skills.
Triton Stables Summer Camp was implemented to provide campers with a safe, fun and educational riding experience, for those new to horses as well as for the accomplished rider. For campers to receive the best experience out of their week at summer camp, campers must have English paddock boots. Campers may purchase boots at Dover tack shop at Brier Creek in Raleigh, or online at Statelinetack.com. Boots do not have to be expensive. The Saxon or Tuffrider brand is perfect for campers and only cost 30-40 dollars a pair.

Camp Itinerary:
-Camp check in is at 9:00 AM. Upon arrival, campers are divided into small groups based on riding ability and knowledge of the horse. Each group will dedicate time in the morning to learning varied aspects of horse care and horsemanship. Including but not limited to: Grooming, tacking and basic safety around horses. Each day these activities will be performed prior to the mounted riding lesson.
- Full-day and half-day campers ride once a day during the morning hours. The riding lesson is directed according to the child’s experience level. The child will learn skills ranging from walking, steering, trotting, all the way to navigating a course of jumps depending on prior riding knowledge.
After the mounted riding lessons, a horsemanship lesson and a small craft (time permitting) half-day campers will depart at 2:00 PM.
After 2:00 PM, full-day campers will enjoy the rest of the afternoon swimming at Triton’s beach and recreational area at Falls Lake. The water is no deeper than 3 feet, the safe swimming area is roped off and always supervised by our CPR certified counselors. We welcome reasonable sized flotation devices such as (noodles, life vests, swim rings, or floats).
After cooling down at the lake, campers will return to the front barn parking lot to be picked up by parents at 5pm.
Each full day camper must have a swimming waiver filled out and signed by their parent or guardian prior to swimming at the lake. These forms will be provided by Triton Stables upon arrival for full day campers.
