Animal Care Instructor

Animal Care Instructors teach campers how to interact with and care for the animals at our on-site farm, which is home to pigs, sheep, alpacas and goats. They create and teach an animal care curriculum for campers aged 4-8, and focus on different topics each week like the animals’ digestive systems or eye and teeth shape. Animal Care staff work together with the Pony staff to create and teach a fun and informative curriculum.

Applicants must be 18 years of age or have graduated high school, and must have summer housing available to them in the greater Los Angeles area (Conejo, San Fernando, or Simi Valleys).

A love for animals and a background in basic animal care is a must. Applicants should be physically able to harness larger animals, lift smaller ones, and manage troughs, feed barrels, and mucking wheelbarrows.
