Pros

The people who worked here this summer made the job for me as well as the horses.

Cons

I worked here as a riding camp counselor over the summer. The riding staff was super understaffed and 15 of us were expected to do the job of 30 people. Not only did we work 90ish hours a week with only one hour off a day but we were only paid $200 a week and were not allowed to leave camp at all due to COVID restrictions. The riding staff especially the leadership positions in the barn were constantly being yelled at by the camp owner when it's the riding program that keeps this camp afloat. That's only the beginning. It's now almost October and I left camp at the beginning on august and still not have been paid all the money that I am owed. I've sent numerous emails to the owner of the camp which he has begin to ignore. Fellow counselors of mine this summer have also not been paid all their money. If I could put zero stars for this camp I would. They way they treat their workers is extremely disrespectful and very shady. 0/10 would not recommend working here. Also the camp is ridiculously expensive for what they offer for their kids. There's so many better camps for the money that you could send your daughters too. Everything at this camp is going downhill. Would not be surprised if they're not able to get enough business next year.

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.
