What is the camp about?

The children spend a week in the beautiful nature of the Chepan mountain.

During this time they ride, learn the language of horses, shoot with a bow and take part in various training sessions. The afternoon team games aim to develop their motor skills, critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Through teamwork activities they learn to take responsibility and build team spirit. This way we show them how to help each other and encourage them to take initiative.

During the camp, phones and other digital devices are used only to keep in touch with parents and family, because we believe young people need to spend their time together to the full.

In the end the children go home with wonderful memories, stories of adventures, lifelong friendships and, above all, a rediscovered connection with nature and the world around them.

During the camp we do the following activities:

  • Riding

  • Communicating with and caring for the horses

  • Archery

  • Competitive games

  • Living in harmony with nature and herbal knowledge

  • Forest hikes

And we will develop the following qualities:

  • Teamwork

  • Creative thinking

  • Critical thinking

  • Problem solving

  • Physical fitness

We at “The Way of the Horse and Bow” strive for a safe, gentle and natural environment for learning riding and archery.

Our horses are part of our family, and their mental and physical health is our first priority. That is why we teach the children to communicate and connect with them 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 traditional Mongolian yurts, decorated in the spirit of nomadic art.

Inside, they are comfortably furnished with beds, small tables and lights.

Right next to them is our cosy wooden house, with a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom and a spacious dining room.

The setting is completed by large wooden dining tables, where we serve a variety of freshly made home-cooked meals every day. There is wireless internet (Wi-Fi) throughout the camp.
