Saddle Up Camp

If you have a child who loves horses, this camp is a great opportunity to learn all about them. Join members of the SIU Equine Science program for a fun-filled week learning about horses! Campers will receive training on horse nutrition, grooming, proper care, and of course riding!

Campers will also learn about different careers involving horses. This camp is designed for introductory – intermediate exposure to horses and will be conducted by Samantha Wuest, SIU Equine Center Manager. All campers will receive a camp t-shirt, binder, and memories for a lifetime!

Camp Requirements:

  • A completed Camp Release Form must be received in our office prior to camp beginning.
  • Campers are required to wear long pants, and boots.
