Red Pine Camp for Girls (summer residency girls' camp ages 7-15) is looking for a Director of our Horseback Riding Program. It is a 2.5 month residence position from mid-May through early-August 2024. The director will manage a curriculum consisting of English style riding (balanced seat) for a variety of skill levels ranging from beginner to advanced. Our two camping sessions are approximately 30 days in length so you can watch your riders progress significantly. First time campers/riders are able to enjoy a camping introduction session of two weeks. The campers ride 6 times per week. There are approximately 50 riders per session. We have 16 camp horses which will be under your care. In addition, you will have a riding staff of 5 to assist you. We have a barn, four arenas, a network of trails, and a pasture. Private accommodations and all meals provided. You will have 3 evenings and Sunday to enjoy the beautiful Northwoods....or stay and relax in-camp.
In addition to arena and trail work, all riders are taught the care of a horse, horse anatomy and behavior, the care of riding equipment, and certain aspects of stable management. The instructional program and curriculum for Red Pine's Riding Program is based on the United States Pony Club Organization.
Celebrating our 86th summer, Red Pine is the only privately owned property on the shores of Clear Lake, a spring-fed 1200 acre lake acclaimed by many to be the clearest and cleanest lake in northern Wisconsin. A more perfect setting for a camp would be hard to find. Red Pine's friendly staff is waiting to welcome you.
