Summer Pony Camp registration opens March 20th.

Our camps all comply with COVID-19 recommendations from the BC Camps Association.

Pony Camps

• Horses are incredible creatures with so much to teach us.
• They live in the present and can help us stay grounded.
• They accept without judgment and can help us be authentic.
• They communicate with their bodies and can teach us about boundaries.
• They work together and can teach us about relationship.
• They are sensitive and can teach us about empathy.
• Finally they are FUN and can teach us how AMAZING life can be!

Our camps are geared towards never-been-on-a-horse riders or beginner riders. Older children, or those who can already canter independently, might prefer our private lessons -- or try our Farm Camps.
Many children spend the whole day on the farm... riding half the day and at farm camp half the day. Lunch time supervision is available.

Preschool Pony Camp (for 3-5 year olds) CAD$375

Preschool pony camp runs Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. All campers will experience hands-on learning of how to feed and care for "their" pony (stable management), as well as the basics of horseback riding. Parents are welcome to stay and watch.

Farm Camps

• ​What is your earliest memory of being on a farm?
• What did it teach you about life that you can still remember today?

For many people living in cities, farm camps were their only experiences on farms as children and teenagers. These adventures are fundamental to understanding our food systems, appreciating healthy farming, and developing wonder and care for the natural world. At Southlands Farm, we take a stand to inspire mind-full behaviour and sustain-able stewardship. This isn't your typical day camp. It is a real, rustic farm experience where kids learn life and survival skills. Our Farm Educators are highly skilled, knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate.
