Horseback Riding For those children registered in the General Camp, an optional horseback riding program is offered twice weekly for one and one-half hours. Campers learn not only skills in riding but the other responsibilities of caring for a horse as well. Swim Team The Friends Academy Swim Team meets Monday through Friday from 8:15 a.m. until 9:15 a.m. This program stresses conditioning and development of swim strokes and technique. Swim meets are planned with other clubs during the summer.
