Horse Camps
Camp Sankanac horse camps are run by equestrian professionals Erin Hails (Brick Lane Stables) & Diana Shirk (Silver Lining Farm) and their experienced staff. Horse campers are sure to get plenty of time with the horses, not only riding and having a blast but also learning important riding and horse care techniques. Our horse camp programs give campers the best of both worlds… lots of time with the horses (individualized and group riding instruction, trail riding…even creek stomping with your horse!)… AND all the best of Sankanac (Bible study, pool, boats, waterslide, crafts, camp store and more!). Campers of all riding experience are welcome. First time or advanced campers will grow in their skill. Register soon, space is limited!
Horse Campers will be housed together at our Parker House facility. Campers ages 8-11 will be housed in one bedroom and campers ages 12-16 will be housed in another. Each bedroom will have a Horse Camp Counselor and Erin will oversee camper life at the Parker House. At the barn, Erin and her skillful instructors will train the campers in grooming, tack, feeding, general care, equine anatomy, safety, riding instruction and much more. Erin does a great job incorporating fun games and a wide variety of activities in an educational and safe setting. Campers of all riding experience are welcome! First time or advanced campers will grow in skill under Erin’s professional and nurturing instruction. If you’re looking for an awesome, affordable, overnight summer horse camp experience, look no more! Space is very limited!
Campers are allowed to bring their own horses but are responsible for their own feed, equipment and proof of vaccines. A questioner is part of the registration process for those interested in this option.

Attention all boys and girls ages 7-16!! These all boy and all girl camps have been running since 1941 and offer a unique camp experience! Come join us for a great week of activities, outdoor adventures, and learning more about God. Camp Sankanac runs four weeks of boys’ camp (June-July) and four weeks of girls’ camp (July-August). From creek stomping to hilarious skits, to cooking over a fire, to paintball and arrow tag, to tubing, to braving our mountain-sized water slide you don’t want to miss the outdoor adventures that await during our four weeks of boys’ or girls’ camp.
Each week of camp is tied to a different theme. The purpose of our weekly theme is to add a fun twist to the regular camp daily schedule. The themes play out primarily in our evening activity and in mealtime skits during the week. The rest of our camp day is largely the same every week. In the morning, campers have Bible and elective classes. In the afternoon, campers have rest time, free time, and activity time with their own cabin. After the evening meal, campers participate in a large group game or activity that is tied to the weekly theme and then they end the day with a chapel service.
