Spare numnahs and girth - if riding twice a day they can get manky! Don't forget a torch for night time if you're camping and if you're in a tent take an extra duvet/sleeping bag - it can get mighty chilly!
 
I'd add on top of all that, to take a neck strap and a martingale. Mostly in case pony decides to be a tit :p
 
Ok im a little older than PC members but I go everywhere with a lunge line...can be used for everything : Aside from the obvious, I've loaded someone's horse with it, ive also tied a partition together after it broke mid journey, doubles up as a spare lead rope etc....,
 
Not a proper pony club camp, but just came back from taking my horse on holiday to see my friend for a few days. I stayed at her house, and he stayed on a livery yard with hay and tools provided...

Me:
hat (plus my old spare just in case)
gloves
boots & gaiters
sports bras
t-shirts
breeches (1 per day)
riding socks
normal overnight stuff
camera & assorted chargers

Stable:
haynets
water bucket
hay tub/bucket
shavings
grooming box
fly spray
fly mask
fleece/waffle
turnout
feed buckets
bagged up feeds (labelled am/pm)
treats

Tack/Riding:
headcollar/leadrope & spare
lunge line
flat bridle
hacking bridle
saddle
girth
tendon boots
brushing boots
over reach boots
bandages
saddlecloth (1x per day)
hi-viz for me & horse
travel gear
schooling whip
body protector
mounting step

Think that was it :)

Also took plenty of Ikea & bin bags for carrying stuff or storing icky sweaty stuff.

Name everything you can with permanent marker!

Most importantly - don't forget the horse :D and have fun :D
 
Oooooh this thread is really useful - I'm off to jump camp in a few weeks which will be our first trip staying away and I never did the whole pony club thing.

I'd take a first aid kit too.
