Ever wish you could take your DOG to camp?

Well – here’s your chance! The Hunting Retriever Club is offering the 7th annual camp to help you learn how to train your dog, how to handle a shotgun, and how to be a better handler at hunt tests, plus many, many more fun activities! Your dog is welcome and needed, but if you do not have a dog or maybe have a puppy that is too young to come – then we’ll have trained dogs there for you to use. We will have special awards for each camper.
