Triton Summer Camp
Triton Stables Summer Camp provides campers with a safe, fun, and educational riding experience, for those new to horses as well as for the accomplished rider. Campers are divided into small groups according to riding ability and students are mounted on horses appropriate to their skills. They will learn horsemanship and riding skills while having lots of fun!
Summer Camp is for children on a traditional school calendar or children, ages 6 to 16, that track out during the summer months.
Summer Camp cost for 2024 is $450 (IEA Bootcamp cost is $600). A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your camper's spot and the remainder of the fee is due before the first day of camp. A discount will be applied for riders registered for 3 or more weeks of Summer Camp ($25 discount per week)

Camp Itinerary:
Camp check-in is at 8:00 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.
All 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) campers will depart at 1:00 PM.
During the week, campers might go on a trail ride, cool down with some water activities, and play horse games. On Fridays, riders have a chance to demonstrate their new skills in a fun mock horse show!
For campers to have the best experience during 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 $30-50 dollars a pair.
