At MacNair’s Country Acres, horse-loving kids experience a fun-filled, hands-on introduction to the world of horseback riding in a safe, supportive environment. Set on 200+ scenic acres in Raleigh, this camp is perfect for beginners and experienced riders alike, offering a blend of riding instruction, horsemanship education, outdoor recreation, and classic summer camp fun. Each day includes guided riding lessons in the ring or on wooded trails, helping campers build skills, confidence, and a connection with their horse. Campers are placed in riding groups based on experience and learn essential equestrian skills like grooming, tacking, and post-ride care. The week’s activities culminate in a mini-show on Friday, where campers can proudly demonstrate what they’ve learned for family and friends. Beyond the barn, kids can cool off in the on-site swimming pool (supervised by a certified lifeguard), play outdoor games, make crafts, and enjoy time with new friends. The camp’s structured daily schedule balances riding and horsemanship with creative and recreational time, ensuring campers stay active, engaged, and happy. Whether it’s a camper’s first time around a horse or they’ve been riding for years, MacNair’s Country Acres offers a summer experience that’s both educational and unforgettable—where kids can bond with animals, explore the outdoors, and grow in confidence while having a blast.
