Have the summer of a lifetime working at an American summer
camp, the great tradition where the only philosophy is to have fun
and make new mates, all day everyday. International staff like you
bring variety, personality and new skills to camp, and this year
it’s your turn to get out there. Book onto the programme today, and spend 8-10 weeks working and living the American
dream.
HORSE RIDING:
Teaching horse riding at summer camp combines the
responsibilities of teaching riding, looking after the horses and
being a camp counselor. It is a fun and rewarding, yet challenging
opportunity to enhance your teaching skills, develop your personal
experience and have a great summer!
As a riding specialist, you could be teaching skills and giving
lessons for several hours a day, usually in hour-long periods,
generally in addition to caring for the horses.
Qualifications that will help you include the Pony Club B or C
award and BHS qualifications, or the UKCC equivalent, ranging from
the Groom’s Certificate in Horse Knowledge and Care to BHS
Assistant Instructor Level One. Having owned a pony or horse and
ridden for a number of years helps too.
