The North Carolina 4-H Horsemanship Camp is held in June of each year at Millstone 4-H Center. This rustic camp is located in Richmond County near the town of Ellerbe.
Youth who attend Horsemanship Camp will improve horsemanship skills while having fun with other 4-H'ers. A highly qualified camp staff will introduce the beginning rider to the basics of horsemanship while advanced riders can learn additional horsemanship skills and showing techniques. 
Special features of the camp include educational lectures, riding lessons, trail rides and training demonstrations, in addition to traditional camp activities.
Instruction will be given in hunt seat and western disciplines. Should enough interest exist, instruction in Gaming, Dressage/Eventing, Non-Trotting and Saddle Seat will be offered.

Each camper will be solely responsible for the care and feeding of his/her horse. Each camper must have a physical examination within one year before camp and be deemed able to complete the camp activities. No horseless campers will accepted. Camper numbers are limited and will be divided equally between hunt seat and western riders. These slots will be filled on a first-come basis depending on the camper and their horses' eligibility.
