Pioneer Pony Camp is a one week summer camp for students with developmental disabilities. This camp will be held at the Ross County Fairgrounds. Pony Camp is open to any student in Ross County with a developmental disability ages 5-14. Students participate in various equine riding opportunities, crafts, special performances, sensory time and water play.

Children participating in this camp should be able to transition between activities and take turns with prompting, stay in a group setting and be interested in participating in the activities provided. Due to our limited ability to control the environment and provide sensory support to participants, we are currently not able to serve those with a high frequency of harmful or self-injurious behaviors at Pony Camp. Please check out some of our other camp offerings if this applies to your child.
