You are welcome to call your child on our phone 5486 6166 for a chat at dinner time, between 6.30 – 7.00pm. If you get the answering machine keep trying as it means the line is busy.
Definitely not.
Please do NOT take your four-legged family friend on a road trip to Kiah Park. Â We wish to protect our Kiah Park animals, our property and of course our campers.
It doesn’t worry what age, size or breed your dog is, there are not exceptions to this rule.
DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG TO KIAH PARK.
Thank you.
We welcome boys and girls aged 6 to 16 years of age to holiday horse riding camps. Â The boys and girls enjoy all activities together and have seperate accommodation and toilet/ shower facilities.
It will rain at some point during some of our holiday camps. Â We don’t let the rain stop our fun we simple shuffle the program to ensure we can slot in as many rides as we can as long as it is safe to do so. Â A bit of rain usually just adds to the experience. It is not only about horse riding but also about developing character, independence and resilience, and of course making wonderful friends and having fun.
We do not offer discounts or refunds for striking bad weather.  We all continue to make the most of the conditions we are faced with. Our Leaders looking after the children 24/7  have alternative fun if it is absolutely impossible to ride out.
We believe that children function best in an environment which has clearly-set boundaries and guidelines to follow. These boundaries and guidelines are explained to the children at the beginning of camp during the Welcome Talk. We stress the importance of these guidelines, why they are there and what happens if they are not adhered to. For example, if you run on the concrete and fall over you will hurt yourself, or if you run around the horses you might scare them and they may kick out. This means the campers know why a particular behaviour is not acceptable and will begin to think before they act, alter their behaviour and ultimately develop self-discipline.
Children are encouraged to follow expectations through positive reinforcement and redirection and staff are required to role model ideal behaviour at all times. Staff members are instructed to be firm but fair in their redirection, encouraging children to take responsibility for their own actions and the subsequent consequences.
We have a zero tolerance on bullying, swearing and refusing to following instruction. If a child presents with these behaviours, they will be brought into a meeting to investigate the reason for their behaviour and given a reminder that this particular behaviour is not acceptable. If it is something serious Kiah Park management will immediately contact the child’s parent/carer and ask them to communicate with the child to encourage them to correct their behaviour. If we do not see an improvement in the behaviour, the child will again be called into a meeting and told that if they do not comply they will be sent home. Thereafter if there is no improvement, the child’s parent/carer will be called to pick their child up.
We are happy to arrange trail rides for a group of at least 12 people. Please phone us: 5486 6166 or email: [email protected]Â to discuss your options.
We do love a bit of a splash in the dam during hot weather, but the children do not go beyond knee-deep. All water activities are very carefully monitored, particularly children who are not confident swimmers. Sometimes we have a water-fight up near the cabins.
We love early bookings! To avoid disappointment, it is best to make your booking as soon as the camp bookings are open and you are confident with your family plans.
