Founded in 1957, Red Oak focuses on the fundamentals of English riding, emphasizing safety and horsemanship. Our dependable lesson horses, alongside experienced instructors, create a fun and positive learning environment for every camper.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced rider looking to hone your skills, our experienced staff makes our camp the place to ride! For summer camp horseback riding, check out Chincapin Camp and learn more about spring and fall lessons below.

All riders will have the opportunity at camp to take the Chincapin Horse Shoe Tests on equestrianism from elementary to advanced levels. Passing each level is a worthy achievement, and their increased knowledge helps campers qualify for future programs and even Counselor in Training opportunities when they are of age!
