Do you want to have a job that connects you to nature and your peers? Are you ready to work outside in a job that will change you forever?

We work with children and adults from diverse economic and social backgrounds. Many the children we serve are from economically depressed areas, have a disability or are “at risk” in some way. We feel these groups of children need to be exposed to new challenges and growth opportunities in the outdoors. Our programming includes challenge course, waterfront, crafts, archery, horseback riding, kayaking, technical tree climbing, and lots more!
