Allegheny Riding Camp at Grier Summer is a girls' residential summer program located at the Grier School in Central Pennsylvania. We teach all levels of English hunter-jumper horseback riding. Riding campers have 2 riding lessons per day. All campers also have the opportunities to participate in a variety of other traditional camp activities such as dance, art, drama, swimming, camping, and sports. Our sessions are 3 weeks in duration, with a special 6-day rookie session for young first-time campers.
We also offer a special Show Camper program for experienced riders aged 12 to 16. Qualified campers are assigned a specific show horse and travel to A-rated horse shows while they attend camp. Riding internships are also available for qualified girls who have completed 11th grade. Show Camper programs are offered in English Hunt Seat and Western Saddle.
We also have Mother-Daughter session for girls aged 6 to 9. Our mother-daughter session is the perfect way to introduce your daughter to sleepaway camp. Each family has two bedrooms connected with a private bathroom.
Allegheny Riding Camp features beautiful facilities in the mountains of Central Pennsylvania, about 30 minutes from Penn State University. We have dormitory housing, three riding paddocks, large indoor riding arena, stables for up to 65 horses, a 25-yard swimming pool, gymnasium, athletic field, air-conditioned dance studio and 350 acres of forest.
We maintain an excellent staff ratio (1:4 or better) in the dormitory and during lessons. We accommodate less than 100 campers at a time, creating a family-like atmosphere with plenty of individual attention.
The mission of Allegheny Riding Camp is to teach girls to realize their potential through horsemanship, friendship, and respect for animals.
Allegheny Riding Camp is the perfect summer home for girls who love horses!
