Field Guide with RedCliff Ascent
Description:
The field guide is the person who sees our students every day and directly facilitates the healing process. As a Field Guide with RedCliff Ascent, you will get to know our students and deliver the best program possible to them. This includes creating a safe, healthy, and supervised environment, mentoring, and working as a team. Teach students how to create their own bowdrill fire set and build the group’s shelters from tarps, visit petroglyphs and ghost towns, peak mountains, and watch herds of mustang as the sun rises all in the beautiful wilderness of Southern Utah.
As our Field Guide, you will join one of our two shifts that continually swap back and forth, working 8 day shifts in the backcountry in a small group of at-risk teenagers with 2-3 other guides. Our groups, which generally have 8 students each, live primitively and nomadically. Our students join an existing group when they are admitted and stay in the backcountry while they complete our program (length of stay is, on average, two and a half months). We do not have a set route or designate campsites; our groups practice low-impact principles as they continually hike and set up camp in our field of over 400 square miles.
