Local horse lovers, get ready to ride.
Spitfire Farm, the popular equestrian facility and horse-riding school at 4201 Vinkemulder Rd., is accepting participants for two upcoming camps: A spring day camp, which runs from March 24 through March 28, 2025, and a summer camp, which runs weekly from June 9 through Aug. 8, 2025. Weekly camps during the summer period are also available.
The farm, which also offers riding lessons Monday through Saturday, has doubled the size of its air conditioned space to create a more comfortable environment for campers, said Ejola Cook, the owner of the farm, who is also a mother of 4 and knows the needs of parents looking for a fun, but space summer camp environment.
The renovated camp area now features three distinct rooms: an arts and crafts area, a kitchen space for food storage, and a hangout area. This expansion allows campers to enjoy indoor activities during the hottest parts of the day while still maintaining an outdoor focus, Cook said.
Two new horses have joined the farm’s programs, much to the delight of returning campers: Oreo, a small black and white horse, and Teddy, a large pony, are already camp favorites.
With a total of 20 horses in their program, the camp ensures that every child gets a chance to ride daily.
“I think that especially in this age of technology, where our kids are so often inside and in front of screens, anything that gets them out on the dirt and in the sun, doing things physically, is important,” Ejola Cook said. “I know a lot of parents are really looking for opportunities for their kids to go out and get hands-on activities and experiences.”
The camps continue to offer popular features such as an inflatable water slide and “Fun Fridays” with surprises like pizza day. To accommodate working parents, aftercare is available until 5 p.m.
Spitfire Farm is offering early bird specials and discounts for full-summer sign-ups. Spring break programs are also available with daily registration options.
The farm is home to horses of various levels and experiences, from rescues to advanced competitors. Children are placed into groups based on their age and skill level.
The facility is one of the few farms in Coconut Creek where horses can be ridden into Tradewinds Park.
With the expanded facilities, the camp has increased its capacity to 25 campers per week, though spots are expected to fill up quickly. Applying campers who don’t get an initial spot will be wait-listed.
Interested families can find dates, pricing, and registration details on the farm’s website.
Families can call or text 954-903-1772 or email info@spitfirefarm.com to sign up for camp.
