Pathfinder Ranch was founded in 1964 to provide an escape from the desert summer heat for the children of Palm Springs. We have since grown to provide Camp, Outdoor Education, and Retreat programs – all while staying true to our mission to connect people to nature and each other.

Working at Pathfinder Ranch can be a truly valuable and rewarding experience. You will have the opportunity to shape the lives of children by providing a safe environment for them to learn, grow and have fun. You will also become part of a family that believes if you choose a job you love, you will never have to work a day in your life.
