Summer Day Camps

Where Young Hearts and Hooves Grow Together

Welcome to an intimate, unique summer experience centered around friendship, farm life, and true connection. Our camp offers a peaceful, hands-on environment where children safely interact with, care for, and understand horses from the ground up.

Our Philosophy:
Safe, Small Groups & Big Fun

At Fairwinds Farm, we believe the most magical bond with a horse happens in a peaceful, focused setting. To keep our environment quiet and hands-on, our camp sessions are limited to just eight campers per week.


Our days are filled with age-appropriate fun, laughter, and lasting farm memories. While our program focuses primarily on safe handling, ground connection, and farm life, campers will also enjoy a special mounted (riding) experience once during the week. The heart of our camp is the everyday joy of horse companionship, creative play, and farm exploration.
