Kids Horse Summer Camp
Summer Camp at The Equellness Center
A nature-based summer camp in Park City, Utah where children, ages 7-12, slow down, reconnect with nature, and grow essential life skills through working horses.
Through horsemanship, horseback riding, outdoor exploration, art, and creative play, children build empathy, resilience, friendships, and a strong belief-in-self, all in a calm, supportive environment guided by nature and the steady presence of horses.
Why Equellness?
At the Equellness Center, we believe children thrive when life slows down and they feel safe being themselves. Our purpose is to support emotionally intelligent, resilient children who are grounded in who they are and connected to others.
Throughout our camp, activities such as horsemanship, horseback riding, art, and outdoor play become meaningful opportunities for self-reflection, empathy, and life skills development. In a calm, supportive environment guided by nature and horses, children build friendships, strengthen belief-in-self, and experience a deep sense of belonging.
Equellness Center: Nurturing Well-being Through Nature's Classroom
In today’s fast-paced, screen-filled world, many children spend less time outdoors and fewer moments truly listening to themselves and the world around them. At the Equellness Center, we believe children thrive when life slows down. Nature becomes a place of refuge, where children feel safe to explore, connect, and strengthen their emotional well-being through time outdoors and with horses.

Holistic Learning
We offer an unique program where children can engage their five senses while developing the people skills that allow us to understand, share, and “play well” with others. Such skills are necessary for effective communication, collaboration and teamwork.
Language
Language skills help children express thoughts and emotions clearly, collaborate with peers, and build positive social interactions through play.
Empathy
Empathy allows children to recognize and respond to the feelings of others, fostering kindness, cooperation, and mutual respect.
Listening
Listening skills strengthen children’s ability to follow cues, share ideas, and respond thoughtfully, supporting smoother communication and connection.
Life Skills learning
Life Skills learning equips children with tools for emotional regulation, relationship-building, and self-expression, contributing to confident, connected play experiences.
