Sept 7, Wed {WW} Horseback Riding.
CHANGE IN TIME Please note the meeting time for the Horseback Riding on September 7th has been changed to 9:30 a.m. (instead of 10:00 a.m.). The YMCA staff are available from 10-12 a.m., so we need to be there at 9:30 so everyone can fill out a YMCA waiver, the North Star waiver, and pay our $20 fees ahead of time to be ready to go at 10 a.m.
Meet at 10:00 a.m. in the RCU Discovery Center at YMCA Camp St. Croix, 345 Riverview Drive, Hudson, WI 54016. Directions: From St. Paul, take Highway I-94 east. Cross the St. Croix River and then take Exit 2, Carmichael Road & County Road F. Turn right {south} on Carmichael Road, go approximately 1 mile, and then turn right at the YMCA Camp St. Croix North Entrance Daycroix sign. There is a parking lot on your right just before the RCU Discovery Center. We will begin horseback riding at 10:30 a.m. This 1.5 - 2 hour experience will be riding well-trained horses on easy trails. No experience is necessary. Stair steps are available for help getting on and off a horse. Hard hats are required and will be provided. Wear long, loose-fitting pants {no capris or shorts} and closed-toe shoes {boots with a heel recommended}. After riding, we will get our bag lunches from our cars and walk to Explorer Point to enjoy our picnic overlooking the St. Croix River. We may be able to do some additional hiking on the YMCA Camp trails after lunch for those who are interested. Cost is $20/per person.
