Description
Camp Pride is looking for volunteers to help with our riding programs this summer.
Volunteers are needed to lead horses or side-walk for riders with special needs. No prior horse experience necessary. Volunteers must be 15 years old or older. As a leader, you need the ability to understand & carry out direct instructions. As a side-walker, you need to comprehend instructions & pass them onto the rider & may also need to physically assist/support the rider. Both positions require physical endurance, verbal skills, and excellent English comprehension.
Volunteers are asked to commit to one full week of camp, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 12:00 noon. Join us for more than one week if you can! Camp Pride is a Eight-week session starting June 30th. Sign up now!
