Job description

Full-Time Ring Lake 570 Trail Lake Road, Dubois, Wyoming 82513

The Board of Directors of Ring Lake Ranch announces the search for a new Executive Director:

About Ring Lake Ranch: Our mission is to provide Renewal in Sacred Wilderness. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit ecumenical seasonal retreat center nestled in the Wind River Valley of western Wyoming, near the small town of Dubois. The stunning and rugged beauty of the geography is complimented by the presence (within Ranch property) of a remarkable collection of ancient petroglyphs (rock drawings), believed to have been created by the ancestors of modern indigenous peoples of the area.

Guests come for a variety of reasons: hiking, horseback riding, fishing, programs given by renowned speakers, the community formed each week, the beautiful surroundings and the chance to rest and renew. Speaking programs are exclusively held in the evenings, giving guests all day to explore the natural beauty of the area in whatever ways they choose. While many of our guests hold religious affiliations, the ranch is not affiliated with any organization or denomination.

Programs are held from late May through early September. There are a total of 15 cabins, for a maximum of 38 guests, so groups are small and intimate. Guests are encouraged to share in the daily task of meal cleanup and dishwashing — a time considered by many as "the best way to get to know each other." Ring Lake Ranch is primarily for adults and adults bringing families. We do not run a summer program specifically for children. We have a newly renovated Dining Hall and Kitchen, as well as two large meeting spaces to meet the needs of our guests and speakers.

The Executive Director we seek is a person with camp/conference or retreat center experience, skilled in collaborative leadership and staff supervision, financial management, facilities management, program development and outreach and fundraising.
