Otterbein’s Equestrian Collegiate camp is designed to expand a camper’s equine knowledge both on and off the horse. Campers will ride multiple times a day with our experienced team coaches. This camp is designed to get a greater understanding of collegiate riding and showing. This is a competitively priced academic camp that is sure to sharpen your equine skills. Camp will run July 8th through July 11th, 2025. Exact times will be provided once accepted. We ask that campers are either a rising high school sophomore, junior, or senior. Due to limited to limited space and demand, campers must apply for this camp. If accepted, campers will be emailed a link and pass-code to register and pay.
