Here at MMR, we strive to create a very unique environment. An environment that is contrary to contemporary culture. Where technology is traded for all-present conversations and authentic friendships. Where true fun is had without the help of any substance. Where there is no pressure or expectancy for romantic relationships and everyone is viewed as family.
We want to move away from the norm and fight for greatness. We desire to prove the world wrong and be young people that stand up for wholesome living.
Camp is an intensive short-lived time, filled with kids that need us to be present in every moment. We want staff that is willing to give up themselves for the kids and live a unique lifestyle.
If you seek a summer of fun alone, we encourage you to look elsewhere. To say camp is fun is an understatement, fun is a given. But MMR isn’t just a summer camp. It’s a place where fears are conquered and identities are found. It’s a place where genuine relationships are born and flourish. We are growth, unplugged, wholesome adventure. We practice stewardship, inclusiveness, empathy, encouragement, and integrity. As we celebrate authenticity, we help each other as a family, find joy in our uniqueness and encourage all to dance outside their comfort zones. We believe all this starts with our counselors.
OUT-TRIP SPECIALIST JOB DESCRIPTION:
The privilege of leading an out trip is an amazing opportunity!. It gives you a beautiful way to inspire young people toward greater love and respect for all they will see and together see some of the most amazing places in Northern California. Our out-trips consist of 13 campers, two counselors (one of which is a trained van driver), and one van. Typically departing after breakfast and returning before dinner, however, depending on the destination, they may require more time. Some out-trips will get an early start and depart an hour before the rest of us eat breakfast. Our two primary and most popular destinations are the Lassen Day Trip which includes Lassen National Park (either to summit Mt. Lassen or visit geothermal sites and incredible vistas within the park), Burney Falls, and Subway Cave. The other is The Desert Trip out to the Skedaddle mountains, lizard hunting, water caves, petroglyphs, and fossil beds. When leading an out trip, a counselor will pick the kids the night before the out trip and make sure to fill out FOUR out-trip forms. (one for the kitchen, one for the camp nurse, one for the director, one for you!) After picking you will hold and out-trip meeting and inform the kids what to bring and any other need to know info! (discussed during staff training)
Summer Goals:
Mountain Meadow Ranch is blessed with an incredible location. You do not have to travel far from camp to see some of the most incredible places you have ever seen. Our purpose in offering out trips to our camp family is to provide campers with the opportunity to see and explore some of these places. Our trips are based on camper interest and are pretty much the same from session to session. As an out trip specialist, your summer goal should be fun and adventure smothered in safety. Traveling out of camp means exposure to an untold amount of hazards, and we need to know that you are the ultimate ‘mother hen’ when out of camp.
Please keep in mind, Mountain Meadow Ranch counselors act as both cabin counselors and activity instructors.
