The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
Daily Ring Lessons, Trail Riding & Poolside Relaxation in Monroe. Designed for Ages 5 to 15. The equestrian & farm ecology curriculum here is genuinely rigorous — not recreational time dressed up as programming. Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
Daily swim instruction is genuinely progressive here, not just recreational splash time labeled as lessons.
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:4 (Riding Ring), 1:6 (Farm Pods). Every counselor we spoke with had at least one prior summer at Canterwood Equestrian & Farm Camp, and it showed in how calmly they handled a full day of Ages 5 to 15 energy.
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Pickup and drop-off in Monroe are about as painless as this category gets, and the kitchen at Canterwood Equestrian & Farm Camp takes allergy protocols seriously rather than as an afterthought.
Tuition Range: $1350 – $1600 / week
