Mission

Statements

The vision for the Wateree Hounds is to ensure exceptional hunting experiences for its members, and guests, across first class hunting territories in the greater Camden and Kershaw County areas while also cultivating a lively and welcoming sporting community in Camden that honors and advances the spirit of the Country Sporting Life, by ensuring that those pursuits, and the lands that enable them, are preserved, and protected for future generations.

Our vision

Our Mission is to honor and sustain the cherished tradition of mounted Fox Hunting by engaging in the comprehensive study, breeding, raising, and training of horses and hounds. We are deeply committed to safeguarding the natural landscapes and historic equine properties in the greater Camden area, ensuring their resilience against development, destruction, and neglect.

By opening, clearing, and meticulously mapping trails on our hunting territories, we not only provide rare public access to these treasured lands but also promote equestrian activities that adhere to the principles of wildlife habitat conservation. Our efforts extend to managing and restoring historic sites for equestrian use, preserving their legacy and the vibrant activities they host.

In doing so, the Wateree Hounds upholds and celebrates Camden’s rich equestrian heritage and the cultural treasures it encompasses, fostering a community that deeply values and perpetuates the beauty of equestrian sports and the environments that enable them.
