Who we are:
The Meramec Adventure Ranch is the therapeutic wilderness and adventure arm of KVC. Using the transformative power of the wilderness and adventure, the Ranch is dedicated to serving individuals and families whom much of the world has given up on, including youth struggling with traumatic pasts, youth in residential treatment, youth on the Autism Spectrum, and Wounded Warriors. Located on 1,200 acres in Steelville, Missouri, the Ranch has grown to be one of the most extensive adventure bases in the Midwest and has served over 120,000 youth and families since its beginning in 2006.
What you get to do:

The Ranch needs summer staff to run the 10-week therapeutic summer adventure program working with At-Risk Youth, Youth on the Autism spectrum, and Wounded Warriors and their families. Our campers have all experienced histories of severe trauma and abuse and have come to a place in their lives where they feel hopelessly “stuck.” That is precisely why the ranch exists!
Using the transformative power of the wilderness, rope courses, team challenges, climbing, paddling, aquatic adventures, land navigation, mountain biking, archery, primitive skills, and many other adventures, you'll get to walk alongside your campers as they grow build confidence in their ability to impact any situation, deepen healthy relationships, and find that the stories of their past don't count them out, but can be used to change their world in powerful ways. You will get to be a part of their stories as they grow, heal, and begin to hope!
Equestrian Instructors teach and lead groups of youth in residential treatment, foster care, youth on the Autism Spectrum, and Wounded Warriors and their families through 10 weeks of exhilarating horse programs. Each day, you'll teach campers horse care, grooming, saddling, and riding techniques, conduct trail rides, including small cattle drives and ranch work. Throughout each day, you'll intentionally process the activities to foster individual growth and healing. You'll have the opportunity to use horses in intentional ways to grow your campers' confidence, relationships, and purpose, as well helping them heal from the past and grow hope for the future.
