No registration fees and higher salaries (allowing applicants have some decent spending money for after camp, rather than an age based pocket money scheme you'll find elsewhere) make Wild Packs stand out from the crowd!
Most importantly Wild Packs allow you to have choice and input into what type of camp you’d feel most comfortable working at. We want to get to know you, so that we can find you a position at a camp that’s just right for you. In our books, happy counselors equal happy campers!
Never will you wake up and find you are randomly placed at a camp. You will check out their website, speak with the Wild Packs team about the camp and most importantly speak with the director, allowing you to gain valuable insight into the workings of the camp, their campers, their staff and their philosophy. We offer a completely personal and tailored service to all. We will support and guide you through the application process; all of our team work for various camps in the US over the summer, so we know our stuff!
A Typical Day in the Job
Your days as a riding instructor could include teaching lessons, taking horses swimming in the lake, playing gymkhana games with the kids, putting a musical drill ride together and so much more. Some camps will even hold mini dressage and jumping competitions.
But if you think that means you can’t take part and enjoy all the other activities going on at camp then don’t worry as you will be very much part of the team and you will have plenty of time to try new things and enjoy the camp atmosphere.
Who are we looking for?
The great news is you don’t need to have qualifications to apply although you will need to be able to demonstrate passion and experience.
As a general rule, if you can confidently walk, trot and canter, know the basic school movements and can jump a small course of fences, then you’ll be just fine.
