Horse Camps

Camp Sankanac horse camps are run by equestrian professionals. 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. At the barn, campers will be trained in grooming, tack, feeding, general care, equine anatomy, safety, riding instruction and much more. Our instructors do 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 our staff’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 questionnaire is part of the registration process for those interested in this option.

If you need more information or have any questions, please contact us at info@campsankanac.org, or call 610-469-6320.

This camp is for all levels and you do not have to have experience to attend.

Meet our Horse Camp Director!

Morgan DiGiosia, Horse Camp Director & Riding Instructor

Hi, my name is Morgan DiGiosia and I am the Horse Camp Director/Riding Instructor at Camp Sankanac. I have had horses since I was 3 years old and have been riding and competing since i was about 5 years old. I have competed in Hunters, Jumpers, X-Country, and Western Gaming such as barrel racing. I worked here during the summer since I was 15 years old and now have my dream job of not only teaching kids and young adults about horses and how to ride, but also sharing the gospel with them. I’m looking forward to this journey and seeing where God leads me at Stillwater Stables located at Camp Sankanac. If you have questions about our horse programs, you can contact me at horseprogram@campsankanac.org.

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.

If you are 16 years of age (or have completed 10th grade) and are considering a future in leadership or summer camp counseling, we highly recommend this program! The CIT program is 3 weeks of hands-on leadership training, giving you beneficial experiences and helpful preparation for the future leader. There are 2 weeks of training that focuses on spiritual growth, building counseling skills and leadership training as you prepare for the last week, which consists of staying in a cabin and assisting counselors with younger campers and program-related tasks. This program really gives you a taste of what summer camp counseling (and ministry in general) is all about. Whether you are looking at a future in summer camp ministry or any kind of leadership, this program is the perfect way to prepare and looks great on your future college application or resume! A certificate of completion will be provided for campers who complete this program. In between each week, CIT’s will go home from Saturday to Sunday.
