National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame partners with Amplify Horse Racing for The Winner's Circle Summer Camp
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — The National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame and Amplify Horse Racing are partnering to launch The Winner’s Circle Summer Camp, an immersive four-day experience introducing high school students to the thrilling world of thoroughbred racing.
Taking place Tuesday, July 22 through Friday, July 25, in Saratoga Springs, The Winner’s Circle Summer Camp will give participants access to some of the sport’s most iconic locations and career opportunities. The four-day camp combines classroom-style learning at the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame with exclusive behind-the-scenes tours at Saratoga Race Course and local industry partners.
From learning how a racetrack operates and exploring veterinary science to visiting the backstretch and building their own model racetrack, students will discover how their personal skills and interests can connect to a wide variety of career paths in the Thoroughbred industry.
“We’re thrilled to be collaborating with the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame as a regional partner to offer this wonderful program,” said Annise Montplaisir, Executive Director of Amplify Horse Racing. “This camp will be an incredible way for youth to learn about horse racing and experience the magic of Saratoga, including those who may not come from a horse background and want to gain hands-on experience.”
The camp is open to rising 9th through 12th graders. Enrollment is limited to 30 students, with a registration fee of $50. Museum members receive a discounted rate of $40.
