BIRTHDAY CAMPS

Celebrate your child's birthday with a tailored group experience for young equestrians ages 3 to 6. Our Camps are designed to be accessible for all levels of riding, from never-touched-a-horse to expert rider, so no one needs to be left off the invitation list. Fish, Marshmallow, and all their BCEC friends can't wait to be a part of your special day!

Join Fish & Marsh:

Each two-hour Camp is designed to get your Birthday Camper and up to eleven of their friends moving, riding, and creating in a safe, private environment. During their Camp, your guests will enjoy a number of activities, including:

A five-minute pony ride per child
Tackling our Mini Arena Obstacle Course
Lunch / Snack Break
Your Choice of Art Project: custom coloring pages or custom horseshoes
Happy Birthday song and cake time

Price: $800 for up to 12 children. Ask about our $50 add-on options: "Brush 'n' Braid" or "Painting Ponies" are a great option for hands-on horse lovers!
