The Summer of a Lifetime

Our staff is one of the key factors in ensuring that our guests have a quality vacation. We expect our staff to be friendly and outgoing, have a respectful attitude toward authority, nurture healthy relationships with co-workers and willingly share any talents or gifts e.g., music, acting, writing, art. 

Because running a ranch requires a lot of hard work, we also look for young people willing to work hard.  Days can be long and flexibility is a desirable trait.  All of us do our best to let our work reflect our faith…by our words and actions but mostly, with a servant’s attitude.  Families return summer after summer to Deer Valley because they want their children to emulate the quality young people they observe at the ranch – young people leading them on horseback rides, serving their meals, cleaning their cabins and guiding their hikes.

So, what are the perks to all this?

• Working AND playing hard in a beautiful mountain setting
• Meeting wonderful families and individuals from all over the country
• Coming to see your fellow staff as family
• Serving God by serving others
• Making lifetime friendships

Many of our past staff members have stated that their summer at Deer Valley Ranch was an experience of a lifetime.  We are looking for quality young people to be part of the Deer Valley experience this summer.
