Horseback riding is the main attraction at Camp Misty Meadows, near Conroe. The Robert and Janice McNair Equestrian Center includes four riding arenas and a herd of 40 horses waiting to be ridden, loved, hugged and groomed by campers. Girls going into grades 2-12 can experience different levels of equestrian experiences.

In addition to the four-legged attractions, the camp offers a pool, archery range, rifle range and a covered pavilion. Traditional camp activities such as making crafts, hanging out with friends, enjoying nature, going on hikes, cooking outdoors, playing games and making new friends are all part of the fun.

Cabins and dormitories are home to girls staying at Camp Misty Meadows. Campers enjoy most meals and get a break from the heat in the air-conditioned comfort of the Wortham Lodge. The lodge also features a stage, activity rooms and a large covered patio.

Every effort is made to follow these session designs as closely as described. Weather or unexpected factors may alter activities.

session. All other sessions do not ride horses.

Note: All riding sessions have a rider weight limit of 200 pounds. Home on the Range session is 260.

Mystical, magical adventures await you at Camp Misty Meadows

and I’ll be the one making sure everything Sparkles along the way! My name is Mystic and I’m the camp Pegasus. I’m friends with all of the horses at camp, but what sets me apart is that I

can fly. I like to roam the camp at night making sure everyone is having sweet dreams and resting up,

because the campers stay so busy during the day! Riding horses, making crafts, cooking over a campfire and going on nature hikes sure

does keep everyone active. I hope you’ll come to camp this summer and

experience the magic!
