WOW Camp
In 2011, we held our first WOW Camp. Our camp follows the HPNJ's first Horse Trials which are held on the last weekend of June each year. Our WOW camp dates will be Monday June 28, 2021 with move-in from noon on. Lessons started on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday - June 29-30, and July 1. We will hold special events each evening. 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.
