Horse Camps

Mikenda Farm offers youth horse camps during the summer, school holidays, in the spring and at Christmas time. The camp director has over 20 years of experience and has certification through the ARIA. Mikenda Farm has been providing lessons, boarding and youth camps by the same qualified horse professional for over 10 years. We are approved by the Girl Scouts of Citrus Council and have provided the horses for the summer camp program and their Horse Badge Program. Safety, fun and learning are the priorities. During camp hours, children are supervised by adults at all times. When looking at other camps, be sure to find out how many years they have been running their camps at the same location. Mikenda Farm's owner and camp director, Brenda Hagemeister, is the only ARIA Level II Certified Instructor in the Orlando area.
