The representation of this camp online is not how it actually is in person. It is shabby and run down. Just disgusting. My child went for one week and that was long enough. They barely showered. Were driven around in a van by a man and there were no seatbelts and the van broke down and they sat in the woods for hours waiting for help to arrive. Barely rode. Only art activity was using markers to make their own camp shirts. There was no phone interaction on call day as promised. Owners been arrested many times for larceny, sexual assault, etc. Just do NOT send anyone to this camp. READ REVIEWS. DO YOUR HOMEWORK! read more

Amazing how after it got such bad reviews and people seeking legal advise for how to deal with all the neglect and money scamming saddleback camp has a new name. Again. My daughter attended for 13 of the 28 she was paid for, amazed at the unattended injury she came home with, medications were not actually watched by the 'staff' as she was able to throw away a weeks worth because she didn't want to take them, there was 1 adult and the rest was run by teenagers. There was no lessons like stated in the schedule, in 2 weeks she rode twice. She got food poisoning and was left alone for 2 days in a cabin to deal with it, she couldn't tell me how it really was on calls as she was being watched, thank god I followed my intuition and went and got her. They ask for extra money for each week plus paying for the camp, no refunds. I would not recommend sending anyone you care about to this camp as it almost reminds me of those tough love wilderness camps of the nineties that did more damage than good. read more
