The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
English & Western Riding, Barn Animal Care & Organic Gardening in North Stamford. Designed for Ages 5 to 15. Bridlewood Pony & Farm Camp's schedule balances equestrian & farm ecology activities with enough free time that campers didn't seem over-programmed. Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
The pool program at Bridlewood Pony & Farm Camp covers the basics competently — heated water, certified staff, a reasonable ratio in the water.
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:4 (Riding Ring), 1:6 (Farm Pods). Counselor training covers the essentials; nothing exceptional, but nothing that raised concerns either. (per our North Stamford visit, est. 1974)
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Transportation logistics at Bridlewood Pony & Farm Camp are functional and mostly on time; catering covers the basics — hot lunch, nut-free policy, afternoon snacks.
Tuition Range: $1310 – $1560 / week
