Unforgettable Spring Break Camps Around Evansville That Might Be Better Than a Vacation

The other day, I was thinking about how much I don’t miss scrambling to find childcare for my daughter during every school break. She’s finally old enough to take care of herself and doesn’t need constant entertainment.

She’s really into horses and loves it when I drop her off at our boarding barn to hang out with hers. She doesn’t even mind the barn chores. So, when I told her we wouldn’t be going out of town for spring break because we’ve got a big summer trip planned, she didn’t seem upset at all. She was actually excited to spend the week with her buddy Tuck.

But, if your kids don’t have a horse to hang out with all week, there are still some awesome spring break camps in the Evansville area that they’ll love!

2025 Spring Break Camps Around the Evansville Area

Speaking of horses, I'm starting off with that because I think they are the most fun! A couple of different barns in the Evansville area are hosting spring break camps. But fair warning - my daughter attended one when she was younger and now we have a horse, trailer, so much tack, and a very horse crazy farm kid!
