Our annual YRAP Camp, geared for riders between the ages of 10-24 who are keen to ride and learn with a few of the top instructors in the country and improve their competence, confidence and make new friendships. There is an application, pricing incentive for early enrollment and contact information available on the Area I website. This is geared towards all levels.
With this instead:
This is a 3-day, overnight camp designed exclusively for members of the Area 1 Young Rider program who are between the ages of 12 and 25 years old and have completed at least 1 Beginner Novice event or have a written recommendation from their current riding instructor.
We have an all-star lineup of instructors ready to teach all levels from Beginner Novice to 3*. Jane Hamlin, John Bourgoin and Stephie Baer have been bringing Area 1 Young Riders to the top of the sport and teaching at this camp for many years. New to camp this year is Jan Byyny – Jan has been a member of many US Equestrian teams all over the world, including as a team alternate for the Athens Olympics. Still an active rider and competitor, she also is now a selector for US teams. **YTC candidates – Jan has agreed to coach Area 1 riders for the remaining YTC competitions, so this camp is your opportunity to train with her ahead of time** Also joining us for the first time is Lauren Mair – Lauren grew up in Area 1 then traveled the world as a groom and barn manager for 5* rider Lauren (Kieffer) Nicholson. Lauren will be sharing her tips, tricks and vast expertise in horse care.
