Working at camp is an experience unlike any other. Our days are beautiful, demanding, inspiring, educational, hilarious, frustrating, silly, surprising, intimate, active and most importantly, full of opportunity. Work with a staff of 65 people and campers aged from 8 to 16.
Equestrian directors at Camp Augusta manage our herd of 10 horses and facilitate activities with our excited campers each summer. We teach a hybrid of English and Western and offer trail rides, horse care, and basic arena work. The goal of the equestrian program is to teach campers not just to ride but to love horses too.
We pay $6000 to $10000 depending upon experience for the main season dates (May 13th to August 11th).
The Equestrian Director leads program development working alongside other members of the equestrian team. In addition to running our program they are responsible for feeding & mucking as well as general herd maintenance. This role benefits from a person who is able to adapt their experience, teaching style, and philosophies to camp and can provide their insight while being open to collaboration. When not horsing around, EQ staff will participate in camp programs, evening programs, and supply camp magic. Applicants must be 19 or older by the beginning of summer.
