When the work is done you have the option of being a staff buddy to a cabin of campers.

Sunrise Ranch, 5 positions. Each week horse-crazy campers come ready to spend hours in the saddle! Ranch staff provide the safety, fun and teaching to 4th – 12th graders. Wranglers teach horsemanship, lead trailrides, care for horses, do barn chores and then spend their evenings with campers as cabin buddies.
