KineticDog is hosting our seventh annual Winter Camp with
instructors Mary Ellen Barry & Jessica Ajoux. What a great way to ward off the winter
blues! These camps will be held at Orchard Hills Dog Training in Barto,
PA. The site is indoors, heated on Sprinturf. Camp format will be a little different this year due to COVID-19.
We are starting out with just announcing and
opening two handling camps. Once these
camps are full, I will be able to better estimate the demand. Additional camps and workshops will be
announced at that time. Additional camps and workshops will include Perry
DeWitt as an additional instructor.
In
order to maintain social distancing, there will be 4 groups in each handling
camp with 5 dog/handler teams in each group. You will spend 4 hours each day with each instructor, either AM
(8:30-12:30) or PM (1:30-5:30). Because the groups only have 5 students, you will
receive the equivalent instruction and floor time as a full day seminar. You will
only be in 1 session per day and may be in a different time spot each day. Due to the nature of this format, I will not
be able to accept requests for either AM or PM.
Example:
Group
1 (5 teams) Sat AM MEB, Sun PM Jess
Group
2 (5 teams) Sat AM Jess, Sun PM MEB
Group
3 (5 teams) Sat PM Jess, Sun AM MEB
Group
4 (5 teams) Sat PM MEB Sun AM Jess
Costs:
$435 working spot /No auditing spots available at this time. Limit 20 working spots.
All camps and workshops are no frills, bring your own lunch
and snacks.
You
must register and pay for both days of the handling camps. There is no sharing of camp spots and no
partial camp spots will be available unless spots are still available after February
1.
