The program offers week-long riding camps for every experience level, including Beginner, Intermediate, English, Exceptional Equestrian, and Gymkhana sessions. Beginner camps are for kids learning the basics of horsemanship and are recommended for those with less than one year of horse experience. Intermediate camps are for riders with some horse experience and are recommended for those with at least one year of riding lessons. The English discipline camp is for riders with more than two years of English experience. Exceptional Equestrian camp is exclusively for individuals with disabilities and includes fun activities and a riding lesson each day. Each weekly camp session is limited to a small group, with information stating a maximum of 4 to 5 riders and a limit of 4 riders per camp session, and registration is on a first come, first served basis. For 2025, camp dates include Beginner sessions June 2–6, June 16–20, June 23–27, and July 7–11; Exceptional Equestrian sessions June 9–13 and July 21–25; an Intermediate session July 14–18; and a Gymkhana session July 28–August 1.
Participants are required to wear smooth sole boots with a heel, such as cowboy boots or paddock boots. Helmets are provided, or riders may bring their own ASTM-certified equestrian helmet. Riders are asked to wear appropriate clothing for riding, use sunscreen in the summer, and bring water to stay hydrated. A snack with a drink is provided each day.
Beverly Farm Foundation states that it is a loving, caring home for adults with developmental disabilities, providing each individual with physical and emotional security and a dignified quality of life, with opportunities and challenges, within each individual’s functional capabilities. One family testimonial notes appreciation for the kindness of the staff and describes Beverly Farm as a source of stability, familiarity, love, and care. Another testimonial from a staff member says they enjoy seeing residents’ smiles and feel they have accomplished their purpose if they make at least one resident’s day a little happier. Additional testimonials describe Beverly Farm as “one big family” where people assist and support individuals in reaching their goals, as a “godsend” that brings a family peace while their relative receives quality care and multiple opportunities for interaction, entertainment, and skill development, and as a place where a resident enjoys taking walks, working to make money, visiting friends, and playing bingo.
