At Camp Shane we keep the focus on fun so kids lose weight immersed in our super list of activities. Horsemanship programs are on 25,000 acres in the cooler Arizona high country and are designed for both the novice and more experienced riders. We have delicious kid-tested food with nutrition and cooking classes that support keeping the weight off. Our counselors and certified instructors make the program successful and safe so kids can have the time of their lives. Founded and family run in New York since 1968 we have extensive experience and know what kids are going through and how to help.

The Friendly Pines program is based on a time tested philosophy that encourages independence and self reliance, and "learning by doing". Campers choose their own activities from a list of over 30. Our traditional program includes English and Western riding, rock climbing, ropes course, waterskiing, fishing, swimming, sports, tennis, crafts, performing arts, photography, pets, outdoor living skills, and more.

At Desert Palms Equestrian Center we provided a safe enviroment for kids to express their love of horses. Each day consists of riding twice, learning to groom, saddle,and bridle. We also will go over horse health and other education. We cool off in the pool and have fun during arts and crafts. Safety is always first and our horses are matched with each rider's ability from first time riders to advanced riders.
