What items should I send with my child to camp?
Your horse lover should arrive in the clothing they plan to ride in. I suggest
long pants, a boot type of footwear with a hard sole and a small heel. The small
heel is a safety feature which will help prevent their foot from slipping through
the stirrup. We also require an ASTM (American Society for Testing and
Materials) helmet for safety. I encourage campers to bring a backpack stuffed
with an extra pair of shorts ( after riding we will cool down during other
activities), a towel (pony baths get the kids pretty wet!), sunscreen (we try to ride
most of the time in the covered indoor riding ring to stay out of the hot sun), any
other types of lotions, lip balm or insect repellent in case of a sensitivity to the hot
sun or insects. Please pack a lunch fit for a king or queen! Being in the stable all
day gives the kids an appetite like a lion! I suggest plenty of water and nice light
meals. If your child has any type of food allergy please let me know!
If for any reason you forget to pack a lunch or drinks, no worries! I always bring
extra food and drinks in case our busy parents forget their rider's lunch at home.
Please mark your child's backpack, towel, riding boots, sneakers, etc. with their
first name and last initial.
Drop off & Pick up Procedure
On the first day of camp I encourage parents to drive all the way to the stable so
you can see where your rider will be spending the best week of their summer ! ! !
After you park, we will greet you and take your rider to hang up their backpack
and put their belongings in their spot. Payment for the week is due at this time.
Payment may be made in the form of check, cash, or Venmo.
Once your child signs in you may leave for the day and plan on picking up at
3pm. For the rest of the week you will see our Camp Team as you enter the
driveway. Campers will be dropped off at the top of the driveway and escorted
down to the stable so you don't have to park your car and you can drive right back
out again. The same plan for pick up! Just drive in the driveway and your rider
will be packed up and waiting for you with our Camp Team! I respect that some
parents may have a busy day and be limited on time. I do my best to make
everything easier for you dwing drop off and pick up times
Daily Fun
Your rider will enjoy riding each and everyday! Your horse lover will learn stable
management, Riding and fun on horseback, feeding and nutrition~ tack and their
purpose, veterinary clinics, blacksmith visits, dentistry work, horse show
preparation, sports, arts & crafts, nature hikes, movies time, course designing,
pony bath and grooming, bareback riding, theater time with horses, decorating
horse shoes, and so much more!!!
Payment & Refunds
At Greylyn Fann a camp deposit is not necessary. Once you send in your camp
application, you are in Greylyn Riding Camp. If your summer vacation plans
change and you can't stay for the whole week of camp, no problem! You will get
a refund for the days that your rider does not attend camp. If plans change and
you decide you would like to come to camp just a few days of the week, no
problem! Just pay for the days your camper attends. Life can get busy. Plans can
change. At Greylyn Farm, I want you to know we are here for your child to enjoy
the love of horses and we are flexible!
What do I do after my application as been sent?
After you have filled out the online application and liability release form your
rider now has a confirmed spot at Greylyn Farm for Summer Camp.
If you have any other questions please email me (Rachael) @
or text me 484-566-9440. It works better to text me
since most of the day I am teaching, training or riding!
Greylyn's Amazing Horses
My #1 most important goal is the safety of your child. Your child's safety begins
on the back of our horses. My horses are part of my Greylyn family. I choose
them because of their calm and patient personalities. I've owned most of them for
years and I would never part with them. Many of these horses also teach my
weekly riding lessons and have won Championships at area horse shows. Please
remember them when packing your child's lunch! Apples, carrots and
peppermints are a few of their favorite treats!
Greylyn Appreciates You!
THANK YOU for choosing Greylyn Farm for your child's summer camp!
This is our 42nd year of Greylyn Farm Summer Riding Camp!
We LOVE our campers and look forward to spending the summer sharing the
amazing gift of these magnificent horses with children who also love them.
