FAQs
What is the difference between Wagon Train and Wagon Train Horse camps?
Both camps take place at Wagon Train and are centered around an old west theme. The Wagon Train camps offer trail riding. The WT Horse Camps offer more riding time, with a focus on instruction and education. Solid Rock's horse program uses CHA's (Certified Horsemanship Association) curriculum. Campers are able to progress through skill levels and earn certificates.
What is the difference between Junior I and Junior II (or Ramble & Float I or II; or WT Jr Horse I or II)?
The camps are identical in programming--the I or II or III denotes only different dates. They are in fact the same camp offered at different times throughout the summer.
How much snackshop money should I send with my camper?
Well...that depends on how much you want them to spend! The snackshop sells candy, soda, and other snacks, as well as stuffed animals and apparel. Candy costs $.50 and soda costs $.75 (some snacks and drinks cost up to $1.50). The stuffed animals vary from $4 to $15, and the apparel varies from $15 to $30. The snackshop is open twice a day at most camps. So figure out about what you think your camper should buy, and give that much!
