Pros

Being with the horses all day and working in the barn while teaching the campers horse things (ring lessons and stable management) is hard work, but fun and rewarding. The directors are supportive and want the staff to grow, and have as great a summer as the campers. There are opportunities for staff to ride throughout the summer, including trail rides and swimming with horses in the river which is a lot of fun!

Cons

It's an all girls camp so mild drama can occur, but is usually simple things that are handled quickly. The days can be really hot & humid, but if they're too hot they adjust schedules so everyone, and the horses, dont get overheated. The days can be long sometimes, but that's the life of working at summer camp

Pros

Years later, I still think that my work at this summer camp was one of the more formative experiences I've had-- in a positive, character building way. You are given a lot of responsibility to lead and opportunities to rise to challenges. This experience can be what you make of it. Working 24/7 with other young women is a one-of-a-kind experience that you probably won't ever get again. Working 24/7 with kids is also a one-of-a-kind experience that will teach you more about your work ethic and values than most other jobs. As a bonus, it's also a beautiful place and you'll make incredible friendships through this intense but dynamic job.

Cons

This job can be draining, but that is true of all summer camp counselor jobs. As mentioned by others, I didn't get paid until the end of my experience. So long as you are ok getting paid at the end of the summer (you do have room and board provided throughout), I think there is a lot to gain out of working here. Do check with with them directly though, because the timeline when they pay and how often might have changed since I worked there.
