Camps 2027

Camp is seen by our members as one of the key events in the club’s year. We have two summer camps, aimed at different ages and an early Spring performance camp.

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.

The performance camp runs as a 2-day day-camp. It is open for anyone who is interested in developing their skills even if you don’t want to competing, those who are wanting to get into or developing their competition performance.

Which summer 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 !
