Intern at Adventures Wild Ridge

The purpose of an Adventures — Wild Ridge guide is to encourage camper's growth spiritually, physically and emotionally. Guides are the front lines of our ministry at Adventures — Wild Ridge. They lead campers through adventures ensuring safety, help with meals, and facilitate life at basecamp.

Guides should have a heart for serving and pointing campers to the loving arms of Jesus. Guiding is a great opportunity to grow in your own relationship with the Lord while being part of a fun and encouraging community.
