Pohopoco Creek Alpacas is a 72 acre farm and home to 30 alpacas. It sits on a hill with views of rolling fields, mountains and a small town. It is our private slice of paradise. The farm is situated in the Pocono Mountains and is approximately 90 minutes from New York City and Philadelphia. We get many visitors who add time to their schedules so they can meet and learn about our alpacas all year long.
The Poconos encompasses a fairly large geographic area and is known for natural areas and outdoor activities, family vacations, couples vacations, nightlife and lots of good times. www.poconomountains.com is the place to go to see all our area has to offer.

Rain checks can be applied to another training within two years of the cancellation date.

You will have a BALL...
Three Day CAMELIDynamics Clinic!
There is no substitute for seeing CAMELIDynamics in action...
...taught by the person who invented it! Marty has traveled over a million miles around the world teaching her brand of animal understanding. It isn’t enough to have a mastery of the material, a teacher must be able to excite and inspire. Marty is exceptional at both. She uses training aids she developed herself, along with a variety of role playing exercises designed to help owners really understand their wooly buddies.
There is nothing like feeling what it is like to wear a halter or to be led, to give you a whole different point of view. Have fun, be inspired and leave with a higher level of skill and understanding. This three day event is designed for all skill levels and includes her very popular "Show like a Pro" day. If you have been to a clinic in the past* consider coming back for a refresher and see for yourself how the method is constantly evolving.
Day 1: Introduction to Camelidynamics and the Science of Behavior
Day 2: The CAMELIDynamics Approach to Herd Management - Have more fun AND get more done!
