OVER 18, horse-mad and want to work in America or Canada next summer?

Get in touch with Caroline Lane at Equipeople as her company have just landed a contract to source suitable young people for AmeriCamp for next year’s busy Summer Camp sector in the US and Canada.

Equipeople’s Caroline Lane said: “Young Irish horse people are very popular in summer camps throughout the USA and Canada because of our strong horse knowledge and friendly nature. This is why AmeriCamp have asked Equipeople to identify at least 100 suitable young people interested in a fun-filled summer in 2020. Equipeople are thrilled to work with AmeriCamp because they offer the highest salary rate, the lowest fees and still maintain a high support service to each applicant.”

Cat Tomlinson of AmeriCamp said: “We are very keen to welcome young Irish horse people, because of their high standards of horse knowledge and friendly personalities, We welcome people of all level of riding, from assisting with lessons and basic horse care all the way up to qualified instructors.”

Camps range from traditional camps where campers try a variety of activities to camps specialising in riding and horse care and so people with a wide variety of experience are needed. All meals and accommodation are included in the camp and applicants get paid between $1,600 - $1,850 (depending on age and experience). The visa obtained is known as a ‘camp counsellor’ visa, this also allows an extra 30-day travel after camp has ended.

Applicants should have good horse knowledge of at least Pony Club C+ / BHS Stage 1 standard, must like children and be prepared to ensure that they are kept safe, learn about horses and most importantly have fun.

Applicants must be over 18 before June 1st 2020.
