Details of the Clinic Helper Program
Each Clinic Helper participates on the Clinic Helper team for a minimum of ten clinic weekends to earn a free week at summer camp. More than ten weekends does not pay for additional weeks of camp. More than ten weekends simply expands a Clinic Helper's horse and people knowledge. More than ten weekends is an investment in you and your relationships with Sprucelands horses and fellow Clinic Helpers.
It is understood also that the Clinic Helper's family will pay full tuition for at least one additional week of summer camp. The earned free week may not be used alone. It will be used only in conjunction with the Clinic Helper's paid time at camp. (Some campers pay for two weeks and use this earned free week as a third week. Others pay for three weeks and use the free week as their fourth week. There are many creative options.) Note: Registration Discounts on the website do not apply to Clinic Helper Registration.
