SUMMER CAMP

TRADITIONAL RESIDENT CAMP
Our traditional camp includes activities like swimming, archery, hiking, astronomy, crafts and cabin group adventures, plus the options to pursue special skill classes like waterskiing and horseback riding. Traditional campers are divided by age into their cabins. Each cabin has its own special events and programs. All cabins share in the excitement of our traditional camping program.

 THREE-DAY RESIDENT CAMP
A short-term exposure to Resident Camp for the first-time camper (ages 7-10). Campers attend camp beginning with our regular Sunday registration through Wednesday evening. Program participation will consist of regular camp activities and specialty programs available at the full week price. Campers will be housed with children their own age and the cabin groups will have a mixture of three-day participants and regular campers. Campers that are enjoying their stay and wish to finish out the entire week can do so (small additional fee is necessary).

COUNSELOR-IN-TRAINING CAMP
(Completion of sophomore year of high school is recommended)

This special four-week program is designed to help young adults develop skills needed to become effective leaders and potential summer camp staff members. CITs are under the direction of the camp's Leadership Development Director and senior cabin leaders, receiving training in working with children and learning program activity skills. CITs gain practical experience by assisting staff with camp activities and programs. Campers wishing to attend should complete an application for acceptance into the program.

EQUESTRIAN CAMP
The Equestrian Program is an integral part of life at Camp Eberhart. Two special horseback riding programs are offered:

Horseback Riding (Ages 9-16): This program is offered to boys and girls of any riding skill level (beginner, intermediate, advanced) who are registered in our Traditional Resident Camp. Participants in this program spend 90 minutes a day at the camp stables enjoying riding lessons, trail rides and learning about horses.

Horsemasters (Ages 10-16): This is an advanced-level program for those boys and girls who love horses so much that they want to spend most of their time at the stables. They enjoy 3 hours a day of riding lessons, trail rides and the opportunity to feed, groom and saddle their own mounts. This program is highlighted by a weekly Saturday morning horse show. Participants in this program must already be able to ride proficiently at a walk and trot.
