Cornucopia Lodge & Pack Station / Wilderness Horse Camp
Ride, camp, and explore the amazing Eagle Cap Wilderness and Wallowa Mountains in Oregon as a Counselor for our Girl’s Wilderness Horse Camp. At Wilderness Horse Camp, we share our love of the outdoors and horses with girls ages 10-17. Every day is spent riding in the amazing Wallowa Mountains and Eagle Cap Wilderness areas. Our campers are always amazed at this one-of-a-kind camp that allows them to experience the back country, western riding, camping and crafts, all while learning about horses and making life-long friendships and memories. We limit camp size to 12 girls to ensure safety and encourage a more intimate experience.
The girls are taught to prepare their own meals as well as keeping camp clean & orderly. They catch, brush & saddle their own horses and also provide all care. Camp is set up in the style of a back-country camp, with wall tents as sleeping tents and cook tent. There is also a real bathroom and shower in the secluded location.
As a Counselor, you will be responsible for the girls’ safety, first and foremost. While teaching basic camp cooking, proper horse care, etiquette, and trail riding, and general back country and Leave-No-Trace skills is a full-time job, you will be rewarded by the exuberance and joy the girls bring to the camp. Additionally, many long-term relationships are forged as you leave an indelible mark on their youth.
