All campers, regardless of session, will get to visit the barn at least once during each overnight session at Camp Skymeadow. Horse sessions will have daily scheduled horse activities. Girls will continue to be challenged as they progress through our riding levels.

As age, skill, and weather permit, campers can create crafts, take a dip in the pool, try out archery, and have s’mores over a campfire.

Meet the Camp Director

Rowan "Bug" Curry is the seasonal director at Camp Skymeadow! This is her fourth summer working at camp, and her third at Camp Skymeadow. Her favorite camp activities are making bracelets, taking pictures of bugs and plants, and singing songs around the campfire. She likes her marshmallow golden brown. Outside of camp, you can find her practicing her Italian, hiking with her mom and dog, and laughing with friends. Camp is her home, and she hopes you love it just as much as she does.
