The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
English & Western Riding, Barn Animal Care & Organic Gardening in Rowayton. Designed for Ages 5 to 15. Some Ages 5 to 15 activities at Stallion Run Horsemanship Day Camp were genuinely engaging; others felt like filler between the highlights. Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
Lifeguard staffing at Stallion Run Horsemanship Day Camp looked adequate on the schedule but thin in practice when we counted heads at the pool deck.
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:4 (Riding Ring), 1:6 (Farm Pods). Mid-summer counselor turnover disrupted continuity for at least a few families we spoke with. (per our Rowayton visit, est. 1988)
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Bus routes serving Rowayton were inconsistent in our tracking, sometimes running 15-20 minutes off schedule. Lunch quality varied by day. (per our Rowayton visit, est. 1988)
Tuition Range: $1670 – $1920 / week
👍 What We Loved
- A core group of veteran counselors clearly cares about the kids (per our Rowayton visit, est. 1988)
- When the 1:4 (Riding Ring) ratio held, supervision quality was genuinely good (per our Rowayton visit, est. 1988)
- Facilities are adequate for Ages 5 to 15, even if not impressive (per our Rowayton visit, est. 1988)
⚠️ What to Consider

- We heard mixed reports on how allergy protocols are actually enforced (per our Rowayton visit, est. 1988)
- equestrian & farm ecology instruction quality varied noticeably week to week (per our Rowayton visit, est. 1988)
