Family camp
Everyday life often gets in the way of the quality time you dream of with your children, and it’s easy to feel guilty. Our family camp is designed as a hideaway from the demands of daily life, where you can focus on having fun and creating positive memories together. You’ll both feel the excitement when it’s time for your first gallop, relax and chat with the kittens in the cat castle, and when the everyday struggles of autumn roll in, you can snuggle up on the couch and remember the time you sat side by side, enjoying dinner among the foals on the Alvar.

”A memory for life”
I had a fantastic riding experience down by Skummeslöv/Mellbystrand. Anna, her assistants, and the beautiful, skilled horses made the ride a memory for a lifetime. Great food, wonderful fellow riders, and I’ll be back this summer for the wellness camp on Öland. THANK YOU to everyone who was there!

”It was just what I needed”
I arrived stressed and in desperate need of a break. I left feeling peaceful, with joy in my soul and wanting more. A fantastic combination of relaxation, excitement, nature, delicious food, massage, and wonderful leaders – just as reliable as the horses. I’ll definitely be back. A thousand thanks, it was exactly what I needed!
