The National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame is partnering with Amplify Horse Racing to deliver a one-of-a-kind summer camp experience, right in the heart of Saratoga Springs!
The Winner's Circle Summer Camp will allow students to go behind-the-scenes of Saratoga Race Course and get a firsthand look at what makes it tick. Meet industry professionals, talented riders, and of course, the incredible animals that make thoroughbred racing what it is.
Students can expect a four-day intensive course jam-packed with unique experiences, such as:
🐴 Tuesday, July 22nd: This day will be all about getting acquainted with the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, our home base for the week. You’ll be introduced to the world of horse racing, get the chance to ride a horse simulator, and meet with industry professionals.
🚜 Wednesday, July 23rd: You’ll join your fellow campers for a morning tour of the Oklahoma Training Track, learn about racehorse conditioning by visiting a trainer's barn, and cross Union Avenue to explore the Saratoga Race Course turf. Back at the museum, you’ll dive into a hands-on activity to learn how racetracks are designed and maintained.
🩺 Thursday, July 24th: This day is all about equine health! We’ll take a field trip to Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital, where you’ll tour the facility and learn how veterinarians care for elite racehorses. You’ll also get to explore the science of horse anatomy and biosecurity back at the museum.
🏇 Friday, July 25th: On our final day, we’ll head to North Country Horses, where you’ll get a hands-on lesson in horse care and learn how horses who have retired from racing spend their lives. This will be followed by an optional afternoon at the races.
