Job description

Find your dream horse riding job this summer with Camp America. Spend your summer in an American stables teaching horse riding at summer camp.

Horse riding jobs at camp will take place either in stable facilities at camp or at a local stable. Each day you and other counselors hired for the same role at camp will share your passion for horses and horse riding with groups of campers, helping them develop their skills and confidence in these activities. As well as riding, you’ll also show the campers how to care for horses and their stables to make sure they stay fit and healthy.
