Come for 13th annual training/camping weekend all about DoGs! List of mini seminars and trainings will be posted closer to the event! The weekend is being held at Branch Brook campground in Campton NH. It contains multiple miles of private trails on which mushers can use
 ATVs (NH Registration is NOT required, nor are NHMA stickers), carts, bikes or scooters on for training. The trail has many fun twists and turns and is excellent leader training. The campground has year-round facilities and we've booked a private area just for us mushers. This weekend is meant to be a fun and social way to start the season. We WELCOME new mushers/members to our sport (even with just 1 dog, biking or running canicross), come join us all, meet new people and dogs!
This is private property so you don’t need to be registered in NH!

Hope you can join us!
