Camps 2026

Camp is seen by our members as one of the key events in the club’s year. We have two camps, aimed at different ages.

Our day camp is aimed at members younger members and runs over 3 days. For our older members, we hold a 4-day residential camp, arriving on the evening of the first day.

Which camp should I book onto?

•⁠ ⁠Day camp is typically for members 10yrs & under 
•⁠ ⁠Residential camp is typically for members 10 & over, who are confident staying away from home without parents and can care independently for their pony/ horse
If you aren’t sure which, please just message and we can help you decide 😊 – and you can come to BOTH !
Prices
With a sterling amount of volunteering and work, the Winter League, Rolleston and stewarding at stanford car show we are again in a position to subsidise again this year significantly (£3-3.5k) at £325 for residential and £125 for day.
