Riding Instructor

and the job listing Expires on January 31, 2026

Instructor responsibilities will include (but aren’t limited to) instructing small group lessons, help plan and supervise special barn events, and participate and lead (if qualified) riding overnights. We are looking for skilled riders/instructors who enjoy working with girls ages 6-17. Applicants that are 21 or older may qualify to be a trip leader (DTL) for off property trips. You will need to take a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) class before camp starts, if both parties agree you would be a fit for a trip leader role.

Applicants need to have strong fundamentals in hunt seat riding. Need to be comfortable teaching hunt seat riding in a group lesson. The level of lessons you will teach will be assigned based on your skill level and experience. We have lessons ranging from beginner to advanced. Being able to teach advanced lessons is a plus, but not required. Must be willing to participate in overnight camping trips.

Our riding program includes 37 school horses, 4 rings, several fields set up for classes and trails. We do several camping trips on our property as well as local state parks.

As a cabin counselor, you will have five or six campers who will be your primary responsibility. You will not follow your campers around; they go their separate ways during activity periods, while you teach your own activity. At mealtimes, bedtime, and at other odd times, you will have the opportunity to talk and play with them, encourage and reinforce their successes, and help them to plan the next day.
