Camp
At Summer Wind Stables, we take great pride in the quality of our various camps. We have excellent, well behaved horses. Our teachers are all people who have ridden for years and are skilled at teaching at all levels of experience. We have many different ground lessons so our students have a broad knowledge of horse management.
Our riders, ride 2-2½ hours per day and have hands on ground lessons when not riding. Our educational program is unsurpassed in the northeastern Ohio area.
We own 15 horses so that our students have a variety of riding experiences to achieve the best results possible while participating in our camp program.
Summer Camp runs all summer in weekly sessions, with our campers swimming midday in our heated swimming pool for a refreshing midday break.
Our students are grouped by ability level and our groups are small. Our campers come back year after year and new students take additional weeks of camp because they enjoy it so much. We're pleased to see the wonderful progress the students make.
In addition to a yearly summer camp, we also conduct Spring and Holiday camps. The Spring camp is conducted over a period of weeks to provide for the fact that various schools have Spring vacations at different times.
The Holiday camps are during Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations.
