Get paid to camp & hike...a dream job!

By Stephen C. Schultz

With a history of a stagnant economy, many college students are graduating and finding it hard enter the work force in their chosen field of study. RedCliff Ascent has staff from across the country with various educational backgrounds. In fact, RedCliff appreciates the diversity in education and experience. The more diverse the staff population, the better able RedCliff can meet the very individual needs of each family and student who enroll in the program.
