Eildon Junior Training Camp #2/09.
Below are early details of the Camp. The feedback from the last two camps has been excellent, and the numbers and interest are growing.
This is a parent-led camp, and we strongly encourage parents to attend and assist in cooking, organising, driving and riding with the groups. Without the essential supervision of parents, it will not proceed.
