Windmill Stables of Spring Park is excited to announce the schedule for our  2012 year of summer camps devoted to the horse enthusiast.  Our camps are divided by ability levels in order to achieve maximum learning and improvement. We are also offering a 1/2 day camp for those younger riders and beginner riders! Each session will include a variety of activities including:   Horseback riding, Arts & Crafts, Stable Management, Vet/Nutrition and Safety. Each activity will be tailored to the ability levels of the campers.  Camp sessions are small to provide as much "one-on-one" instruction as possible. Space is limited so sign up early!!!
