Equestrian Athlete Training Camps
US Olympic Training Center - Colorado Springs
The Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center
Our 2026 Venue
The CVEATC is a US Olympic Training site that prepared over 200 athletes for the 2000 games. It's home to a high performance athlete campus including fitness center, sport fields, track & field stadium, cycling venue, beach volleyball courts, tennis complex, aquatics venue, dinning center and dorms for almost 300 athletes.
Travel
The CVEATC is located 25-minutes from San Diego airport. All unaccompanied minors and young riders (U25) traveling alone receive complimentary airport gate-greeting, pick-up and drop-off.
Dorms
Riders stay in athlete suite-styled dorm rooms, each one hosting four similar-aged, same-sexed riders in two bedrooms (two beds each) with two bathrooms and a common living space.
PRACTICE
like athletes
We believe that equestrians are athletes, and like any athlete can peak-our-potential by acting and practicing like one. With this in mind we've developed a unique series of rider-specific strength and conditioning workouts combined with sport psychology, athlete nutrition, mindset-training, leadership and character-building workshops so that the mental and physical lessons-learned-and-skills-earned in camp will extend into our riding lives and beyond.
​
When we learn to do hard things without quitting in sport, we learn we can do the same in our life beyond that sport.
Lead by Coach Daniel Stewart, author of four best-selling books on equestrian performance and sport psychology, and former coach and consultant to many national, international and Olympic level riders, he brings his team of dedicated coaches with decades of experience to these camps so that your time with us will be as empowering as it is challenging!​

Parent Info
In addition to our coaching staff our camps always have 24-hour chaperones, an athletic trainer and onsite sports medicine center. Parents may accompany young riders to camp but there are no accommodations for them. At the end of each day parents will receive an email-recap of the day’s events, including plenty of photos!
