We offer a plethora of equestrian activities for the horse enthusiast (for girls, boys, and adults) including day camp, overnight camp, riding lessons, trail rides, birthday parties, adult camps, girl scout camps, and more. To learn about our overnight summer camp for girls only, read on. To learn about anything else, click on the links at the left of this page. Our overnight camp is an all girls equestrian immersion camp where the entire focus is that of horses and riding. Riders have the chance to ride 4 hours a day and have a horse to call their own (ExeQ Camp) or 2 hours a day and share a horse with 1 other camper (Happy Camper Camp). The time during the day that is not spent riding is spent WITH horses, either training, grooming, driving, vaulting, etc. This is an IMMERSION camp, where non horse activities take a MAJOR back seat! This is not a traditional camp with a few hours of horse time. This is a HORSE camp. Because like you, we LOVE horses! As for educating the young rider, this camp is unparalleled. Riders learn, through hands on experience, every aspect of horsemanship, using the most natural techniques, focusing on quiet, invisible communication. Chastain Mist Summer Camp enhances skills and develops the complete rider by emphasizing the importance of a horse's physical as well as mental well being. It just keeps getting better! In 2009 we will be offering two types of camp, the Happy Camper and the Exclusive Equestrian (ExeQ). Visit our "Camps" page to read more! We are very excited to be able to bring you an even more fabulous summer experience! Tonka, our newest camp horse! He was in the movie, Zorro! WHAT PARENTS HAVE TO SAY: "The web site doesn't do this place justice. It's just beautiful." A Dad, at Open House 2009 "I feel like I'm in Virginia horse country." Camper parent, open house 2009 "Hello Misti – We really enjoyed seeing your place over the weekend. Caroline is now so excited about coming to camp that she has started a countdown! Plus, her concern about staying overnight has simply vanished!" Shirley K. "Sending my daughter to Chastain Mist was the best decision I have ever made. The positive energy and encouragement she received while at camp has helped her to realize she is in control of her destiny, and she can do anything she sets her mind to. She came home and promptly hung up the sign she got at camp reading 'You can Achieve What You Believe'. Thank you!" Hannah L. "Thank you for providing my daughters with a Summer they will never forget! It is almost Christmas and they are still talking about things they learned and the fun they had at Chastain Mist. They will be back next Summer for positively sure." Pamela R. "My niece was worried about going to camp without a friend. The counselors at Chastain Mist went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable. Everyone was so nice, and appropriately helped her work through her insecurity. It took no time at all before she was making friends and having a blast. She even participated in the talent show!"Justine S. "At my daughter's stable in LA, she was having a difficult time with cantering and leads. Her instructor at Chastain Mist clearly defined the process to the point where Mikayla could really visualize the end result. It helped her over the hump that she had been struggling with for months. I just wanted to say Thank You to the instructors because cantering was a challenge that was turning her riding lessons into a negative experience. I didn't realize that Chastain Mist would provide such expert one on one instruction. I am impressed and very appreciative." Mary M.
