Saddle up, horse lovers. Spitfire Farm in Coconut Creek still has room in its winter break camps.

Campers will participate in horseback riding, horse care, games (both mounted and unmounted), arts & crafts, horse painting, and more.

The day begins with the kids learning how to groom and tack up the horses. Then, they will ride for about an hour. After the ride, they will learn how to untack and bathe the horses.

Once finished, they will have lunchtime (guardians must send their children to camp with a packed lunch, snacks, and water). After lunch, the children will do arts and crafts, play games, and learn more about the non-riding side of horse care.

Guardians can sign campers up for individual days or the full week of either camp (the full week is discounted).

They have a Standard Day camp and an Extended Day camp. The standard day is from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the extended day is from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Guardians will receive a copy of our Camp Agreement forms via email before the start of camp. The farm must receive a signed copy of each form before the child’s first day of camp. If requested, guardians may also get printed versions to sign as they drop off their children on the first day of camp.
