DAY CAMP
Built on last year's successful program, Camp 2024 keeps all of the same great components (daily riding lessons, immersive horse care experience, an engaging and continually changing roster of mounted and unmounted games and activities) and adds some exciting new features and opportunities. Now, in addition to our traditional Horse Camp, we're also offering Show Camp (ideal for more experienced riders interested in showing), Adventure Camp (with a day trip to either Dorney Park or the Hunterdon Fair), and Intro to Camp (geared specifically to younger riders and first-time campers). We've also added A Day at the Barn, a one-day camp in the middle of the school year.
CAMP
- a full week of fun, friends and new experiences, built around the love of horses
"My seven year old daughter had the absolute best time at Frenchtown Riding Club’s summer camp. Barbara and team found the perfect balance of education and fun while maintaining the warmest, most welcoming environment. The days are spent exploring the beautiful grounds on horseback with lessons, arts and crafts and games sprinkled in. I highly recommend FRC and will be enrolling again next summer!"

"Every experience we have had with FRC has been overwhelmingly positive. Our daughter LOVED their summer camp and lessons and we have thoroughly enjoyed every event we have attended. As a seasoned horseperson myself, I also am very relieved to see how well their horses are cared for. I simply cannot recommend this place enough!"
"I take the girl I babysit here and she loves it!! The people who work there are wonderfully friendly and helpful. The horses are happy, well cared for and great with kids!"
"Excellent quality instruction and great facilities (new indoor ring and 85 acres!) at a friendly (and fun!) family operated barn. The folks at FRC are totally on the ball—organized, responsible and caring. In addition to lessons, boarding, etc. they have frequent additional offerings for the whole family (e.g. holiday events, trail rides, movie nights) that the kids love and where they/we can really make friends. My kids just finished a winter break mini-camp, and begged to return in the summer after the first (and second and third!) day! I highly recommend FRC and will be enrolling again next summer!"
