Camp Green Cove is a traditional, but unique summer program for girls age 6 to 17. Located in the Mountains of Western North Carolina, we emphasize outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, canoeing, sailing, mountain biking, rock climbing, and horseback riding. We believe in fun, adventure, safety, and great instruction.

Our riding program includes 37 school horses, 4 rings, several fields set up for classes and trails. We do several horse camping trips on our property as well as local state parks.

Your responsibilities will include (but aren’t limited to!) instructing small group lessons both mounted and unmounted, help plan and supervise special barn events, participate and lead (if qualified) riding overnights, and perform the duties required of a cabin counselor.

We are looking for skilled riders/instructors who enjoy working with girls ages 6-17.

Employment Dates are from May 22nd until August 14th. We do have 3 different camp sessions so there is some wiggle room for start and end dates. Preference will be given to those that can work the entire summer dates.

Applicants need to have strong fundamentals in hunt seat riding; must be at least 18 years of age. Need to be comfortable teaching hunt seat riding in a group lesson. The level of lessons you will teach will be assigned based on your skill level and experience. We have lessons ranging from beginner to advanced. Being able to teach advanced lessons is a plus, but not required. If you do not have teaching experience we will help you learn. Must be willing to participate in overnight camping trips.
