Overseas summer programs have recently become incredibly popular with students of all ages.

• Improve physical health and psycho-emotional state,
• Get acquainted with the history and culture of the United States,

Among the sports camps in America , horseback riding camps stand out. This is not surprising, because here the children are waiting not just for training, but for working with animals - horses and ponies - and caring for them.

Curiously, horses appeared in America only with the arrival of Europeans only in the XVI century, and in a fairly short period of time, these animals became an integral part of the life of the population. In modern America, there are not only professional riding schools, but also children's camps that teach children this difficult sport. The programs of such camps include:

• English training,
• horse riding lessons,
• entertainment events of various topics,
• hikes, trips, excursions.

Horse riding camps in New York accept boys and girls from 6 to 17 years old with any level of language and sports training. On the first day, the children are divided into groups, focusing on their knowledge, skills and age - for these purposes, entrance tests are conducted to clearly see what each student is capable of.

Academic classes usually take place in the morning and take 15-28 hours per week (depending on the intensity of the program); For a fee, the camp can organize additional lessons (individual or in mini-groups). The second half of the day is devoted to training and events. Horseback riding can be studied in the stables of the school, if the camp is located on the campus of the boarding house, otherwise training is carried out in the nearest equestrian club with a mandatory transfer back and forth. All the children master the skills of horseback riding, after which they study more complex elements of equestrian sports - trot, gallop, obstacle racing, etc.

Even those children who are not familiar with this sport are accepted to equestrian camps! Therefore, summer schools can be divided by the level of English teaching and by age:

• for primary and secondary school students,
• for high school students,
• for students of graduating classes and universities.

Educational institutions offer programs adapted for students of different ages, where various factors are taken into account: perception of information, perseverance, awareness, ability to write and read, basic knowledge and much more. Kids, for example, need more time for rest, shorter classes, constant supervision of elders, but teenagers and students are already more independent and are able to devote more time to the educational process.

In terms of the level of language teaching, classes can be more intensive if the child's knowledge allows; Someone may need individual lessons, and some children are enough for a basic level.

Horse riding training for children in New York can be taken at the following schools:

• Embassy Summer School in New-York, Long Island University,
• Kings Summer — New York Residential Summer Center.

Horse riding camps are based in guesthouses with their own stables or in other establishments near equestrian clubs, so that children have the opportunity to train daily. All campuses have single, double, triple rooms; Usually, toilets and bathrooms are located on the floor, but it happens that each room has all the amenities. The campuses of modern schools are distinguished by excellent infrastructure, which camp participants can use to the fullest: swimming pools, sports grounds, halls, libraries, computer clubs and much more. Children can spend their free time in the common living rooms, where there is always a TV, Internet and table entertainment.

Each equestrian camp provides children with nutritious food, the quality of which is carefully monitored by specialists. Chefs take into account the individual needs of schoolchildren: diets, vegetarianism, allergies, etc.

The average cost of horse riding camps in New York is $1500 for two weeks. Usually, this amount already includes:
