Description
Camp Pride, our fully integrated summer camp, starts the Week of July 1st and runs for 8 weeks.
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.
We ask that our camp volunteers commit to one full week and the hours are from 8:30am-12pm each day.
