WOW Camp for 2018
In 2018, we will hold our 7th Annual WOW Camp. This year YRAP will not join us and we will miss them. Our camp will once again follow the HPNJ's early July Horse Trials which will be held on June 30 and July 1, 2018. Our 2018 WOW camp dates will be Monday July 2rd with move-in from noon on. Lessons will start on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday - July 2-3-5. We are planning to have a Hound Walk with the hounds and staff of the Monmouth County Hunt on Monday afternoon. This will be a mounted activity. Additional info on the schedule for 2018 will be posted as the information becomes available. The camp is always open to all, including adults, and all riders can choose a track that suits their interests and abilities. We have a flat track - little to no jumping, a flat/SJ track and the traditional track of dressage/cross country/stadium. Some campers bring more than one horse. Each year we adjust our schedule and what is offered based on the makeup of our campers. If you have any questions, contact Cathy Brogan, Regional Supervisor of the NJ Region Pony Clubs (cathybrogan@earthlink.net) for answers to your questions.
