Equestrian staff teach progressive riding lessons, horsemanship and hunt seat equitation. They monitor the safety of lessons students in and out of the barn and arena and are responsible for camper preparation prior to riding. Equestrian staff assist with barn tasks and herd management including low level vet care, nutrition, etc.
We are proud to create an inclusive community of campers and staff who come from diverse backgrounds and value each other. Our goal is to foster a sense of belonging at camp, to build confidence among our campers, and to support our staff in reaching their eventual career goals while supporting the Girl Scouts mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
