Giddy Up: Spitfire Farm Summer Camp Offers Daily Horseback Rides, Water Slides, and Barnyard Fun 2

Spitfire Farm in Coconut Creek.

Saddle up and swap screen time for stirrups because this summer, kids can trade the couch for the corral where days are filled with horseback rides and barnyard adventures.

Spitfire Farm, the popular equestrian facility and horse-riding school at 4201 Vinkemulder Rd., is accepting participants for its summer camp, which runs weekly from June 8 through Aug. 2, 2026, for children ages 6 to 15.

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 farm’s owner. Cook is also a mother of four and understands the needs of parents seeking a fun 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.

“A few new horses have joined the program this year: Berlin Express, our new little American Mustang, which is named after the famous WWII P-51 Mustang, and camp favorites like Thor, Loki, and Snowman are all still here,” said Cook.

With over 30 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 camp continues 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.

The farm is home to horses at various levels and with diverse experience, 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.
