Seattle Horse Camps
Located just minutes away from I-90, Deerfield Farm Camps are the perfect Seattle-area camps filled with gratitude, fun and horses!
At our camps, students will be immersed in nature, connect with our incredible horses and highly trained staff, develop riding and mindfulness skills, and of course have fun! To give kids more riding time, we have reduced the size of our camp groups.
Campers don't need to be a current Deerfield student to attend as we welcome all children and adults who are interested in riding horses and nature.

Janine says...
- Janine L.“My daughter had been doing summer camps at Deerfield for 6 years. She loves being at the barn and participating in this unique program every year! Campers physical experience includes daily yoga, riding lessons, learning a riding pattern, games, an education about horses, and time spent caring for the well-being of “their” horse.
Kids come away with a sense of gratitude and an appreciation of what it means to care for something (truly) larger than themselves.”
