We are thrilled to announce that Senior and Junior Camp will all come together for one huge, fun-filled VAHPC “Super Camp” at our Club Field in Meadle, kindly hosted by Julian & Sue Smith.
Boot Camp for our post-GCSE riders, and those competing at 90+, will still run at Aston le Walls
We are looking forward to a return to our tried and tested format of camp, as per previous wonderful years at Great Hundridge & Rosehill – bringing all members together from mini to senior. It is always a joy to see them support, encourage & inspire each other. This gives us the flexibility and scope to create something truly special for our members while keeping costs for parents as low as we possibly can. We’ve been busy planning, and we are confident this is going to be one of our best camps yet. Here’s a taste of what’s in store:
- Brand-new course of Jump for Joy XC fences, including skinnies and technical brushes.
- Our much-loved Mini XC course
- Fantastic coaches are booked once again to give every child the very best experience
- For older riders, day trips to Attington and/or Chiltern XC for extra XC schooling
- A full, buzzing camp atmosphere with the whole VAH Pony Club together
And that’s not all…
