Advanced children’s camps
The advanced camps are for children and young people who want to study riding, archery and communicating with horses at a deeper level.
What is the camp about?
Because of the nature and format of the standard camps, we usually only manage to lay the foundations of riding and archery.
For those who have a deep interest and desire to develop these skills, we created the advanced summer camps.
During this week the young people will learn more about topics such as precise control of the horse, the different ways of communicating with it and advanced archery. Also included are personal training sessions with the opportunity for detailed feedback.
During the camp they will be able to focus on how horses perceive our commands and will gain experience in handling the horse. We have also planned a variety of exercises and games that improve the rider’s coordination and balance.
In archery, they will develop their skills through dynamic group training and in-depth study of the different techniques and methods of shooting, both from the ground and from horseback.
After the advanced camp, the young people will go home with deeper knowledge and developed skills in riding, archery and communicating with animals in their natural environment.
Groups have a capacity of up to 10 people, and the age range for this type of event is between 12 and 20 years.

We at “The Way of the Horse and Bow” want to provide a safe, gentle and natural environment for learning riding and archery.
Our horses are part of the family, and their mental and physical health is our first priority. That is why we teach the children to communicate and connect with the horse through the holistic approach “Be With Me”.
We do not use bits or additional aids.
Our preferred equipment consists of rope halters and traditional nomadic saddles for horseback archery.
Accommodation
We offer a one-of-a-kind stay in our traditional Mongolian yurts.
The yurts are furnished with beds, small tables and lights, and beautifully decorated with traditional rugs, furs and nomadic art.
Our cosy wooden house has a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom with toilet and a spacious dining room with a large wooden dining table.
We are delighted to serve delicious, freshly made meals every day, so that the stay is truly exceptional and rewarding.
