This camp is extremely unreliable. I applied for the spring break camp from April 1st to April 5th. Chaparral Ranch sent me a cancellation email at 9 p.m. on March 31st, and I saw the email at midnight. I believe parents can understand my feelings right now, anger and shock. I had to start looking for a new camp for my child in the middle of the night. Chaparral Ranch's extremely irresponsible behavior makes it difficult for people to trust that they will be responsible for teaching children how to ride horses.

My son, a 13-year old, took a total of three weeks of horse camp over the summer. The staff gives a very solid foundation on riding skills, safety around horses, caring for horses as well as horse terminology. Their focus is on safety of children and horses as well as teaching the joy of riding. On Friday groups do a fun relay that reinforces all the concepts in horsemanship that the children have learned. As a treat, kids received a cookie at the end of the day. Aside from the daily riding lesson, kids get to explore this beautiful county park. Lots of birds to see. If you would like your child to learn how to handle large animals in a safe manner, then this camp is the way to go.

It was a great experience to my son. The instructors divide kids into groups and each group ride horses for about an hour. All instructors were very professional, kind and funny. For the rest of the day, kids were learning about horses, how to groom them, how to tie knots, exploring nature and playing together. The horses have very unique personalities and kids learned how to deal with each one. We will definitely be back for either another camp week or other horse riding activities.

My son attended camp last year; he was very excited to be able to ride a horse and learn about them. His first day didn't go as planned, and he got scared; we communicated with the staff at Chaparral Ranch, and they were very understanding. The staff worked closely with my son, they were very patient and helped him feel comfortable on the horse, my son had a great experience.
We signed up my son to go back to camp this summer!!

We love Chaparral and their camp. The horses are very good with kids and we can't wait to be back in Spring or Summer, 2022, for camp. Not only do they get to ride every day, but they also play games, take hikes, and get to meet and hangout with other campers along with riding the horses.

My kids had tons of fun and learned to maneuver their horses and even trot them! They rode for about an hour a day and learned about equestrian stuff.

Good experience for kids. The only comment is the actual riding time is only one hour per day due to shift of multiple groups of kids. Hoping the riding time could be a bit longer so kids will enjoy more. Overall, great experience, nice coaches. kids love it.

My kids enjoyed the horse-riding camp offered by Chaparral ranch, Milpitas. The coaches are friendly and caring. During this difficult COVID-19 period, they have good measure to prevent the spread of virus meanwhile still offer great in-person experience for kids.

My 11yo daughter had a great time - learned a lot about horses, including how to treat them well, safety, parts of the horse, and of course how to ride. She was comfortable walking and trotting on the first day and the teachers were super! thanks for making this possible during the chaos of covid, it was one of the few camps we felt comfortable doing and it turned out great. We hope to be back for trail rides.

My seven year old daughter absolutely loved this camp. The program and staff are wonderful. We attended during the Covid 19 pandemic and felt they did an excellent job implementing health and safety protocols. We felt we needed to accommodate our daughters social and emotion needs after months of sheltering in place. With the fresh air and the diligent health and safety measures at Chaparral Ranch we felt very safe and confident.

My daughter (8 years old) attended a Horseback riding Summer Camp at the Chaparral Ranch for one week and we couldn't have been more pleased. Even with the pandemic and restrictions around many activities, the staff made my daughter feel safe but she had a ton of fun. They were taught how to ride horses, how to take care of the animals, they played games, etc. My daughter had a huge smile on every day when I picked her up. We'll be definitely returning.

My daughter had a great time and learned a great deal about horses. The horses and counselors were all wonderful. They had fun activities both on and off the horses. Her only sadness was that the trail ride on Thursday was too short!

This was such a special camp experience, which supported the development of courage, confidence and real horse skills in my six year old daughter. I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful opportunity provided by this camp and the dedicated counselors. We hope to be able to participate for years to come!

Very disappointing - I would not recommend it at all - no running water - inadequate coverage - sitting at a picnic table most of the day - did not honor 1 hour of horseback riding per day it was actually 30 minute - in a corral - range of age of children was beyond staff capacity to offer appropriate activities.

This is the 3rd year we have attended the camp. Unfortunately, very disappointed. After the 1st day of camp, my daughter dodint want to go the next day, She said it was so different from the previous years, She said the only fun part is for the one hour horse back riding. She did nothing for the rest of day, No othet activities they can do.
Unlike before, rhere were farm animinal can play with. Most kids from the camp said this year was the worst one they ever had.
My daughter said she rather stay home doing nothing.
I think I will nevet go back to this place.

This camp was very expensive. The camp was 9 to 3 and they get to ride the horses for 1 hour only. The cost of the camp was $100 per day. it was really expensive and not worth it.

Our 8 year old enjoyed her experience at the camp and learned the basics of horse riding. The camp was held in Ed R. Levin County Park. We were happy that she got to spend all day outdoors amidst nature in a beautiful setting. However, the horse riding part of the camp was for only one hour per day and the practice area is also pretty small. The rest of the time was spent in taking walks or the kids keeping themselves busy with art work. Taking off one star because of the short duration of the horse riding component.

It’s our third year of staying one week with Chaparral ranch. Although they sold the old place and move to the Erwin park nearby, everything is still perfect and kids are very happy.

My 7yo daughter enjoyed every bit. The final show by the kids would have been better if there were some barriers to steer the horses around.
