nature and horses, and develop some great values such as discipline and the responsibility of taking care of an animal. Horse riding camps offer many activities, besides those related to horses: multiadventure and sport activities or learning a new language. So these camps combine everything parents look for their children: learning, contact with nature and development of values. They are the ideal choice for this summer!

Equestrian camps offer a series of benefits very important for personal growth and maturity:

  • Self-esteem improvement

    Lots of kids get very surprised when they interact with an animal as big as a horse! Working together on a daily basis will generate a special link between both, kid and animal, so the kid will become more self-confident while enjoying the company of the horse.

  • Previous experience not needed

    Kids do not need to have previous experience in horse riding since our instructors will adapt each activity so that everybody can do it and have fun. There is no room for fears at horse riding camps because they will learn everything they need to know, step by step and always under supervision.

  • Contact with nature

    Many kids cannot enjoy nature during the school year, so summer is the perfect moment to breathe some fresh air and discover lots of new things about the field and animals. This is why horse riding camps are a great choice: direct contact with animals in amazing natural locations!

  • High motivation

    Kids at horse riding camps are highly motivated and full of energy, they do not have the chance to live together with a horse! They learn techniques to tame the animal as well as the main cares and they put it into practice on daily basis.

Miracampos horse riding camps offer high quality horse riding courses to children of all different levels and abilities, based on respect to the horse as well as to nature. They are thought for boys and girls between 7 and 18 and the only requirement is… being really excited about having fun with horses!

Every morning will be devoted to lessons for taming and controlling a horse, and in the afternoon there will be lots of different activities, such as excursions, gymkhanas, barbeques and amazing summer sports! They will learn equestrian techniques such as turning around, horseball or ponygames at the great facilities Miracampos horse riding camps have. In addition, since this camp is in San Sebastian, kids will have the opportunity of practising surf on the beautiful Zurriola beach. Why choosing between surf camps or horse riding if you can have both?

SoloCampamentos interviewed Maria, Miracampos horse riding camp manager and we asked her about the benefits this type of camps provide:

"Benefits provided by horse riding camps are uncountable but we can highlight autonomy and self-confidence as the main ones. Many kids feel insecure when they go away from home, which is completely normal, but when they arrive at the camp they meet new friends so they all take part very easily of a new group with a common hobby, horse riding. There are always instructors supervising and helping but kids themselves organise their daily tasks and prepare their horses all together, getting a higher autonomy which makes them grow".

All the programmed activities at Miracampos horse riding camps have this issue into account, as well as the needs typical of kids regarding

resting, learning, integration and well-being. We ask Maria how they manage these factors:

"We try to maximise comfort so that everybody can recover energy at an accommodation located in the horse shocool. Kids are organised in different groups according to their level so that they all can take advantage of their stay at the camp, and we work for them to feel comfortable and enjoy their new friends. This is possible thanks to the amazing team we have and the great desire of making lots of kids happy".
