Bryn Mawr is home to approximately 365 campers (ages seven to 15) and 175 staff. All of our girls are full-season campers who attend a seven-week session. We believe that our philosophy of encouraging personal growth and responsibility helps our campers grow into confident, community-minded young women. Campers learn four core values—Loyalty, Beauty, Merit and Comradeship—that are the foundation of the Bryn Mawr philosophy.

With three rings of progressive difficulty, beginners graduate from the lunge-line ring to two large walk-trot-canter and jumping rings. Our extensive stables comfortably accommodate the 17 horses.
