We are in the process of taking bookings for our camps, all of which are being held at Plumpton Racecourse.
Senior Camp - Saturday 29th July – Saturday 3rd August £425 - deposit of £100
Junior Camp - Monday 5th – Friday 9th August £200 - deposit of £50
Mini camp - Tuesday 6th – Friday 9th August £160 – deposit of £50
Senior camp is fully residential, where horses are stabled within the secure yard at the racecourse and campers sleep in dormitories within the grandstand which is patrolled by security staff overnight.
Junior and mini campers come daily, with the ponies being stabled in the racecourse yard. This year there will be an open morning when parents are invited to stay and watch their children ride.
First, and foremost, camp is about having fun, improving your riding and creating new friendships.
All riding, yard and activities earn points for the campers and their yard groups and go towards many awards that are presented on the last day of camp following a demonstration to parents of their riding skills.
Instruction includes jumping, flatwork, stable management, working hunter and grid work sessions.
Campers and their ponies are taken to our cross country course at Wivelsden Farm.
However it is not all about riding and stable duties. We have various demonstrations, where in previous years we have had visits from the British Racing School, packs of foxhounds, pilates classes and for senior campers a visiting vet has dissected various parts of horses! There are games afternoons and during hot weather a very popular water slide!
During the evenings at senior camp there are games such as it's a knockout, landrover pull and a disco with karaoke on the last night.
If you are interested in any of the above camps or would like to discuss which camp is best for your child please contact Candy Robbins, camp secretary, on 0781 658 0322 or candyrobbins@w-com.net
