Aloha Foundation Horseback Riding

Aloha Foundation Horse Camp · ★ 5.0 (6 reviews)

Horseback riding program offered as an activity at Camp Aloha for girls.

▌ Editor's read The Aloha Foundation's website confirms it is a non-profit organization, founded in 1905 by Edward and Helen Gulick, making it one of the oldest continuously operating camps in the US. The foundation is accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA), with their accreditation expiring in 2025, as verified on the ACA's search portal. The website explicitly states that all staff undergo background checks. While the specific 'Aloha Foundation Horse Camp' is not a standalone entity, it is offered as part of the broader Aloha Foundation camps, specifically at Camp Lanakila and Camp Aloha Hive, which are overnight programs. Social media handles for Instagram (@alohafoundation) and Facebook (AlohaFoundation) are easily found on their website. The foundation offers multiple camps, including girls' and boys' overnight camps, and a family camp, with equestrian activities being a prominent feature in some of their programs.

Who thrives here Ages 12–17

Aloha Foundation Horseback Riding serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in equestrian, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
