Hi There!

Along with my great Red Gate Farm Day Camp staff (and furry helpers), I am so pleased to be back for another great summer of fun on the Sammamish Plateau! Red Gate Farm is a special place where young campers can build their self-confidence while enjoying the pleasure of riding and developing a friendship with their camp horse. Along with single week Spring and Holiday Break sessions, we'll have nine one-week sessions beginning June 15, 2026.

Campers will be assigned one horse with another camper that will be theirs for the whole week. They will learn everything about horse care including basic grooming, saddling, even some horse psychology! Each camper will take a riding lesson in the morning or afternoon. Other camp activities will be going on for those not in a lesson. These activities include arts and crafts, and on-the-ground horsey time games. The team will come together again in the afternoon to prepare their horse to be turned out to pasture. They will learn the parts, colors, markings, and different breeds of horses. There will be instruction in show grooming, braiding, and horse leading techniques. Campers will also learn how to tie up a horse, place a saddle, arena etiquette and how to control the horse to walk and trot on command.

On the last day of every session, our campers get a chance to demonstrate their new riding skills with a horse show for friends and family!

COUNSELORS IN TRAINING

The Counselors in Training (CIT) program is for participants 12 to 17 years old.  While horse experience is not required it is definitely helpful.  Ideally, the CIT's will have already participated in the Red Gate Farm Day Camp as a camper.  We need approximately nine CIT's every week to help teach campers about safety, riding, and caring for the horses.  For many CIT's, just being around and handling horses is a sought-after experience. ​We believe the CIT experience offers a wonderful chance to excel in leadership skills. 

We are gearing up for a super year at Red Gate with our great staff, a few new horses and your great ideas!  Cost is $100.00
