Description
Hidden Creek Farm, a unique summer experience, seeks enthusiastic people from the ages of 17-25, to help out with our residential summer camp. The premise of our program is that campers come and live on a working horse farm, they stay in our home, and they ride and learn about horses. Our counselors must be comfortable around horses, able to saddle and groom horses, willing to learn, and confident supervising students around horses. They are NOT required to ride, though there is ample opportunity for those who enjoy the sport. Our camp is VERY small, 6-10 campers at a time, so counselor: camper ratio is VERY low. We are a horse camp with no other activities. We are looking to split campers into different groups to allow for individual growth, so a counselor might take beginners who are tired of riding, into the barn to learn about horse care, grooming, etc. Or, at a horse show, the counselor might supervise campers who are NOT showing while another counselor might be helping campers who ARE showing get ready for their class.
We are looking for individuals who are interested in horses, who are flexible, and who are self-confident enough to handle horses and children at the same time. Must attend a training week before camp starts, June 18, 2007 Must come for all six weeks of camp. June 25~ Aug. 6, 2007.
