We hold 2 camps a year. The Junior camp for all primary school children, is usually 2 days and 1 night duration. All parents stay and camp with their children, activities can include mounted games, badges, jumping, hacking, treasure hunt etc.
The main summer camp for members 8 years & over, 3 days and 2 nights, activities include flatwork/dressage, show jumping, xc, mounted games plus evening talks and demos. Designated parent supervisors and some instructors stay overnight.
Mini Camp will take place at Dittiscombe Equestrian 24th/25th July 2024 and is ideal for children 9 years and under. It’s great fun and all children are accompanied by parents. More details will follow from Vicki Rogers on this.
We are lucky to have secured a camp at Stockland Lovell in August 2024 for our senior camp. This will be held on the 4th to 6th August 2024 and is aimed at children 9 years and over. For those that haven’t been before the facilities at Stockland Lovell are great. Huge arenas that can be subdivided, lovely cross country course with lots of various sized jumps, great stabling for the ponies and accommodation for everyone with full catering.
Cost includes all stabling, catering, accommodation, use of the brilliant facilities, and the instruction. To make the most of the facilities, it will work best if you are off the lead rein, walking and trotting confidently in an open space and happy to jump small jumps. We are encouraging as many children as possible this year and will have a designated group for the younger members. Please do speak to either Karen Burner (01548 581160) or Lisa Stephenson (07891 217537) if you are unsure of whether your child is better suited to mini or senior camp.
