CAMARGO HUNT

Join Us

Join Us

There are many ways to participate in the Camargo Hunt.  We hope to have you join us soon!

MEMBERSHIPS

We have two primary types of memberships: riding and social.  

RIDING MEMBERSHIPS

Riding members enjoy an unlimited number of hunts, as well as other riding and social events throughout the year.  Riding members vote for hunt officers and board members, as well as changes to the by-laws.

We expect our members to be fully active members of the club, which means volunteering for some of the many opportunities to organize and staff our events.  We encourage new members to join a committee, and expect participation in some of our trail clearing days.

 

NEW MEMBERS

Full members must pay an initiation fee of $1,000.

Dues are invoiced June 1 of each year.  Your class of membership will be determined by your age on June 1.  If you join mid-year, your dues will be pro-rated.

To inquire about membership, please contact Kerry Daus at CHSecretary@gmail.com.

Once the Board approves your application, your membership will be effective the first day of the following month.

Social Memberships

Social memberships are available for those 25 years of age and older and interested in the Camargo Hunt, hounds, and hunting.

Social members may attend an unlimited number of social events and non-hunting riding events, including: 

  • Hound walking
  • Riding along with our road whippers-in during hunts
  • Breakfasts and brunches
  • Stirrup cups
  • Annual Camargo Hunter Trials
  • Blessing of the Hounds
  • Boxing Day celebration
  • Hunt Balls
  • Holiday parties 
  • Third Thursday dinners
  • Trail rides
  • Hunter paces, hunt clinic
  • And more
 
Note that for some of these events, such as the Hunt Ball, the hunter paces, the hunt clinic, and the Hunter Trials, social and riding members alike must pay entry fees or purchase tickets.  These events are important fundraisers for the club and help us to feed and maintain our foxhounds.
 
Many of the stirrup cups before a hunt and breakfasts after a hunt are “bring-to-share” affairs, and our social members also bring a dish or drinks to share around. 

A social member is a non-voting member.  The annual dues for social members are $575.  

Dues are invoiced June 1 of each year.  Your class of membership will be determined by your age on June 1.  If you join mid-year, your dues will be pro-rated.

To inquire about social membership, please email Kerry Daus at CHSecretary@gmail.com.

Once the Board approves your application, your membership will be effective the first day of the following month.  If you join mid-year, your dues will be pro-rated.  Annual dues invoices are sent out June 1.
