Horse Clinic Camp (New program)

Three action-packed days immersed in horses, wide open spaces and campfires under the stars.

Day one builds the riding and horsemanship skills you’ll need – growing confidence in the saddle and learning essential horse care – before two days exploring the property on trail rides. Spend one night in our comfortable dorms and one night camping in the bush (tent provided), with a campfire, peaceful surroundings and a sky full of stars.

Whether you’re here to improve your riding, connect with nature or just have a unique adventure, it’s one you won’t forget.

Ages 12-16.

September 29 to October 1

$520
Helmets and boots provided.
Children must wear a sun-smart shirt and long pants.

“Mylor Adventure Camp has proven to be an excellent venue for providing accommodation for 170 people and catering all meals for 230. Staff were wonderful to work with, delivering as was promised. The camp/conference style accommodation provided very well for larger numbers and we could see capacity for more catering numbers. We would be very happy to use again. ”
