The McHenry Parks and Recreation Department wants to help everyone ride out the summer in style by offering horseback riding camps, according to the department's online summer program guide.
The camps, for participants ages 6 and older, will be held at Valley View Acres in Woodstock. They will focus on the care and correct handling of horses, establishing a stable routine and studying different breeds of horses. Instruction will be based on each participant's skill level.
Camps are scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon from June 19-22, June 26-29, July 10-13 and July 17-20.
Participants need to bring their own snacks or lunches and wear long pants and shoes with hard soles; gym shoes are not allowed.
The cost per camp is $210 for residents and $220 for nonresidents. Go to the department's website at www.ci.mchenry.il.us to register.
