Spring is just around the corner. That can mean only one thing: the Harness Horse Youth Foundation summer camp schedule and applications are now available.
Complete details are at http://hhyf.org/schedule-applications.
The HHYF Trottingbreds and staff will kick off the season with a bang on July 4 - 7 in Goshen, NY with the Leadership Program, and then spend another week with the introductory level July 10 - 14 also based at Goshen Historic Track. The next stop will be Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs July 17 - 21 and then on to Gaitway Farm on July 24 - 28. The introductory level finals will again take place at the Meadowlands on Hambletonian weekend August 3, 4. Camp registration fee is $150, which includes meals, materials and lodging where applicable.
All introductory level events are open to any interested young person (no horse experience necessary) between the ages of 12 and 14. The Leadership Program is designed for former participants of HHYF events or those age 15 and up with at least some harness racing experience.
Camp applications are due May 15, 2018. Additional dates will be announced as they are added. For questions or to find more details visit www.hhyf.org or email Executive Director Ellen Taylor, [email protected].
