Avoca Park runs school holiday horse camps for riders of all experience levels — whether you own a horse or not!

Our 2-day (1-night) camps include two rides each day, plus hands-on horse activities. Summer 3-day (2-night) camps are for more experienced riders.

Camps run for ages 7–16 (younger riders may attend with experience or a sibling), with qualified coaches adapting lessons to each rider’s skill.

Activities include skills lessons, obstacle courses, and the Avoca Trails obstacle course. PCA-accredited, insured, and fully staffed, our camps provide a safe, educational, and fun experience where horse-crazy kids can ride, learn, and make friends.

More details and bookings are on the links below.

All kids stay in our 8-bed bunkhouse with one of our female staff members (who sleeps in an adjoining room) to ensure a yummy dinner and a decent bedtime!

All meals, snacks, beds (& bedding) is provided, and bunkhouse includes TV, bathroom, outdoor spa, full kitchen, and lounge area. Parents are welcome to have a look on arrival. Yards for horses brought to camp included in price (please bring your own horse's feed).

Saddle up and enjoy a ride through our beautiful Rainbow Themed Memorial Reserve to the Avoca Trails!

Groups of 6–8 spend an hour on the course, guided by Leanne Williams, our director and Level 3 Dressage Coach, or one of our EA-qualified coaches.

It’s perfect for a social outing, a bit of fun, or introducing young or nervous horses (and riders!) to new challenges in a supportive atmosphere. No age limit, though we ask parents to accompany children under 10 unless competing independently.

Onsite accommodation is available for single riders, couples, or groups — just contact us to make it a full adventure with friends.

Our 10 year old daughter went to Avoca Park for a 3 day camp, we drove 3.5 hours with the horse float just to go. Excellent set up, will be returning every year.

My almost 4-year-old daughter has had a wonderful time today at the kid’s club! Big complement to the instructors, their knowledge is outstanding, and they deliver it in a kid friendly way! Pony, Mr Dumpling is very gentle and obviously used to smaller kids. We sure will be back!!!”

My 6 year old had the time of her life at the school holiday program. From learning about how to care for the horses to riding them solo. I was amazed how well she handled riding the horse on her own! She said her fav part was learning how to trot. We couldnt be happier with the experience and will def be back next school holidays.
