Horse Riding & Adventure Activity Camps

Horse & Activity Camp Fun, friends, horses & fantastic memories!    

The week long camp incorporates aspects of horse husbandry, practical demonstrations & Adventure Activities in a country environment. Located just outside the beautiful Victorian country town of Echuca on the Murray River. This is a wonderful opportunity for your children to enjoy a week away in a farm atmosphere with a group of like minded children, learning a range of horsemanship skills and building fond memories they will remember for life!

Our itinerary caters for boys and girls aged 10 to 15 years, with no prior experience necessary! We pride ourselves on our experienced staff who cater all aspects of horse riding to each child’s abilities and needs. The camp is fully supervised and our senior staff are qualified instructors and trail guides who also compete successfully in a variety of disciplines.

After completion of the camp, each child receives a certificate of accomplishment as a memento.  Billabong Ranch has a sunsmart policy in accordance with the Australian Camping Association recommendations.

From 11.30am to 4.30pm, on days over 30 degrees all activities will be undercover, in shaded or air conditioned areas.
