Following the tremendous success of our inaugural Sporting Week in 2025, the Wateree Hounds are thrilled to announce that this celebration of fox hunting heritage is returning to historic Camden. Enjoy a week filled with equestrian events, time-honored traditions, and fellowship that makes Sporting Week unforgettable.
Dates and itinerary for 2027 to be announced.
Sporting Week revives the culture that once made Camden our nation’s premier winter destination for the sporting elite. It brings together the finest traditions of fox hunting, equestrian sport, and Southern hospitality within a carefully crafted lineup.
This week-long event is intentionally designed to be savored. Spend mornings riding across rolling hills, with relaxing afternoons and evenings spent around fire pits and dance floors. Whether you come to ride, spectate, or soak up the atmosphere, you’ll enjoy one of the most distinctive weeks on Camden’s sporting calendar.
Fox hunts, daily hunt breakfasts, and signature social events are the core of the Sporting Week experience.
Attendees of all skill levels can expect warm hospitality, locally sourced fare, and the kind of camaraderie that only comes from a week spent together in the field.
We offer two ways to enjoy the event, plus opportunities to tailor your experience with optional add-ons.
For those looking to broaden their Sporting Week experience, Camden offers a lineup of classic sporting pursuits—each intentionally limited to preserve quality and intimacy. Customize your itinerary with any number of optional pursuits.
À la carte activities are subject to availability, with event tickets and stabling available upon request.
Event schedule, parking details, and ticket information will be published before each year’s event.
Sporting Week is made possible by the generosity of our sponsors, whose support helps preserve Camden’s sporting traditions and ensure that this celebration of Southern heritage continues taking place each year.
