The Harness Horse Youth Foundation is coming to Bangor Raceway on June 23 to June 27, offering a summer day camp in conjunction with the Maine Harness Horsemen's Association. Applicants must be between the ages of 12-14 years of age and preference is given to those not from immediate families of racing.

The participants are taught basic horsemanship as well as given a broad overview of the industry. Exposure to a wide range of career opportunities is stressed. The highlight of the week is participation in exhibitions held early in the racing card.

Applications can be downloaded by following this link. They can also be obtained on the HHYF Website at www.hyf.org or by calling the MHHA office at (207) 623-6442.

The day camp is sponsored by the Maine Harness Racing Promotion Board, The Maine Harness Horsemen's Association and the Maine Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association.
