Re: Sleep Away Camps (with horses?) for 11-year-old girl
The Girl Scouts have a horse-oriented sleep-away camp in the Santa Cruz mountains called Skylark Ranch. You don't need to be a girl scout to go, and the prices are very fair. My daughter went last year at age 8 and is going again this year, and she had a blast! Their website is camprocks.org. Look for Skylark Ranch (they have several camps). HTH, Erin

Re: Horse-riding sleepaway camp for our almost 10-year-old
Try Skylark Ranch of the San Francisco Bay Girl Scouts. The camp is a couple of miles back from the water near Pescadero (between Half-Moon Bay and Santa Cruz) and the most affordable riding and horse tending experience for girls of all skill levels. You can find them via Google.com. My daughter went two years and enjoyed it a lot. Heather
