Summer Equestrian Camp
Session II: July 20 - 26, 2008 Albion College's Held Equestrian Center is pleased to offer a summer camp program for young women aged nine to sixteen. The camp will be for riders who own their own horses/ponies. Alternatively, the College has limited horses available for lease. This camp is fun and educational, incorporating two lectures per day as well as two mounted sessions. It is our goal to improve campers' riding skills through instruction, practice, and competition. The Held Equestrian Center is nestled on 340 acres of undulating land in the town of Albion, located between Marshall and Jackson off I-94. In addition to the intensive riding program, trips and evening activities are planned which are carefully supervised by camp counselors.
All meals are prepared by our outstanding Dining Services staff, and served in a campus dining hall. Campers will receive breakfast, lunch, and evening meal each day. The Program

Session
I: July 13 - 19, 2008
Campers will be housed in
the
Mae Harrison Karro Residential Village on Albion's main campus.
The apartments in the Mae are heated and air conditioned.
Our riding camp features instruction at all levels in hunt seat, show
jumping, equitation, dressage and combined training, and equine studies.
At the start of each session, all riders and horses are evaluated to
determine their instructional needs. Session I focuses on combined
training, presenting the fundamentals of dressage and jumping
techniques. Equitation is stressed throughout. At the end of the
session, riders participate in dressage and jumping tests appropriate
for their level. Session II is similar to Session I. However, more
emphasis is placed on hunt seat equitation. At the end of Session II,
all campers participate in shows with equitation and hunter competition.
