Camp Yonahlossee for Girls

Horseback Riding

Take to Your Boots & Saddle

Horseback riding was a favorite activity at Camp Yonahlossee.  In the ring and on the trail, campers were taught safe riding and jumping skills.  Girls were given the opportunity to learn to feed, groom, take and care for their mounts, as well as participate in shows both in and out of camp.
