Camp Counselors
Elvenstar Day
Camp has approximately a 1 to 5 counselor-to-student
ratio. Each camp session has two adult instructors
and two to three junior counselors.
The majority of our junior counselors have grown
up here at Elvenstar, and most have participated
in the camp themselves as children.
Now, as young adults and knowledgeable horsemen,
they have come full circle and are helping us
continue the tradition of teaching proper horsemanship.
