Once a young person (usually at least 12 years of age) has participated in multiple sessions for at least one season, they may be eligible to apply for our Wrangler Program the following spring. In order to apply, they must be recommended by at least one member of our staff.

Benefits of being chosen for the WRANGLER program:

• spending more time at the ranch
• having a much more comprehensive opportunity to learn and interact with the staff and the animals of Achaius Ranch
• serving God by serving others (animals and people)
• learning many skills, including leadership, communication and social
• opportunity to become a more mature, responsible person
• this experience is a great addition to scholarship applications, resumes, etc.

Wranglers commit to volunteering all summer on a weekly basis (at least one day per week).

Wranglers commit to participating in Wrangler training at the beginning of the summer.

Wranglers serve as part of a team during sessions, assigned to a Leader, and one or more session participants.

Our highly popular Wrangler Program has limited positions available, with increasing numbers of young people interested in applying each year.
