Camp Counselor Volunteers
We have need of a team of volunteers to help everything work smoothly during summer camp. We use volunteers to run our horse riding classes, volunteers for doing horse chores, and volunteers who assist in doing crafts during camp, all to keep us in clean working order. While volunteers do a great service to the programs, we like to think that it helps the volunteers themselves as well because Camp Counselors will gain excellent experience working around horses; our volunteer program is designed as a teaching/learning opportunity for riding, horse training, groundwork, medical care, etc. Camp Counselors who sign up for ALL the weeks of camp receive a FREE riding lesson package during their weeks of camp and occasionally get to ride the horses or take trail rides in the afternoon before they are put away. While you will likely learn basic horse care while volunteering, if you are interested in further riding lessons, we also offer educational training programs for expanding your equine education.
If you do not have the experience required to volunteer (yet!), we offer educational training programs and camps!
If you’d like to volunteer for summer day camp, you must attend our Camp Counselor Orientations. Pre-registration is required.
Our facility itself is pretty self-sufficient as far as horse care, so we don't have a need for people to work with or exercise the horses; You will be expected to arrive before camp starts (8am), feed horses, have them tied up and ready to go before campers arrive, and to assist with your group's activities during the day. Each week of camp will be split into 3 groups (based on confidence and experience level) and you will stay with the same group all week long.
