Camp White Pines Ranch

If you have a little equestrian on your hands, send her 90 miles west of Chicago to Oregon (Illinois, that is) where she can ride on more than 200 acres of beautiful wooded area and horse trails. Although the camp has been around for more than 50 years, kids stay in modernized dorms. There is also swimming, hiking and plenty of fun camp games to round out the experience. July and August. $600/week. Ages 8–15.
