Why Therapy Camp?
Therapy horse camp is a great way to introduce your children to a therapeutic environment. They will experience inclusivity, no bullying, or microaggression, and a have ton of fun. Therapy horse camp is ideal for all children and youth, ages 4 to 17. We have campers with and without diagnosis’ attend our camp. The ultimate goal of our therapeutic summer camp is to teach our clients everyday life skills, such as, mindfulness, teamwork, leadership, emotional regulation, social health, and positive self-image.

Most group benefit providers cover the cost of our services. We charge for two (2) sessions of therapy per camp day, not for camp. Remember, the camp is free when you register for the daily therapy sessions. These can be group or private therapy sessions. Ask our office for more information.
Our camp is funded by many local GOs and NGOs like OAP, Jump Start, Children’s Aid Societies, Indigenous bands, and Jordan’s Principle. Please contact our office for funding opportunities.
DON’T WANT THERAPY AT CAMP? No problem! HTCC provides non-therapeutic summer camp for campers who do not want to engage in therapy at camp or who may not benefits from therapy at camp. In these cases we will provide you with the standard non-therapeutic camp rates. Transportation is included in the price of these camp rates, if the camper needs transportation.
Therapy at Camp
At Horse Therapy Centre of Canada we provide daily group therapy sessions in the form of equine-assisted therapy and psychoeducation where your children will be able to learn how to unpack and manage their emotions, deal with difficult situations, and connect with others. We talk about mental, emotional, social and physical health with our campers and teach them how to reach optimal health. These lessons not only help them at home and school, but they will help them across their lifetime.

Free Camp Model
We understand that many families do not have the funding to send their children to therapy and camp at the same time. We have created a free camp model that allows all campers to come to camp for free if they are engaged in two (2) or more therapy sessions per day. Group equine assisted therapy, private equine assisted therapy, and non-equine based therapy are available.
Two to One & One to One Counselors
To ensure the inclusion of all of our campers, Horse Therapy Centre of Canada provides 2-to-1 and 1-to-1 (Counselor:camper ratios) counselors for our clients who need more support. Your child will continue to form a part of their group, but they will attend camp with their own staff member helping them throughout the day. Contact us to discuss your child’s needs and to understand thresholds for this program.
