 Do you want to be part of the most exciting and fulfilling work you've ever imagined? Using the transformative power of the wilderness and adventure, Meramec Adventure Ranch is dedicated to serving individuals and families whom much of the world has given up on. The Ranch is a unique program—one of the few therapeutic adventure programs left in the country that serve youth in the state system. Working with and supervising other guides, Therapeutic Adventure Managers lead year-round adventure and wilderness programs lasting 1-12 days at a time for court-ordered youth living in residential treatment. This is a full-time, year-round salaried position with full benefits. Summer Adventure Guides lead small groups of youth in residential treatment and other youth in state custody through an exhilarating 10-week summer adventure camp program. Living in tents in the woods, cooking over a fire, and facilitating the daily camp routine, you’ll use activities like ropes courses, team challenges, climbing, kayaking, aquatic adventures, land navigation, and many other adventures in intentional ways to grow young people’s confidence, relationships, and purpose. Summer positions run from May 19th to August 2nd, 2024 (with a week break over July 4th). Compensation is competitive and based on position and experience, plus all staff receive shared housing and meals when programs are running. If you are at least 20, have a calling to serve youth, disciplined work ethic, willingness to have fun, and passionate about being part of what is happening at the Ranch, learn more about this exciting life-changing job opportunity.
 The Ranch is also seeking summer Camp Nurses and Equestrian Instructors.
