Are you a natural storyteller who loves animals? Become a tour guide!
[PLEASE CHECK YOUR JUNK/SPAM MAILBOXES FOR MY EMAIL!] Dreamcatcher Nature Assisted Therapy is looking for tour guides to join our Tourism Program, specifically our Time on the Land Program. Our Time on the Land Program offers guests the chance to come meet the animals on an interactive guided tour. As a tour guide, your job is to bring our guests into the animal pens and ensure they are safely interacting with the animals. Since our critters are mostly all rescues, they all have a story to tell, as such, you will also engage our guests in telling their stories and how they help our clients in therapy, as well as informing our guests of our services to create awareness. You may also help with manning the market booth to sell merchandise, animal treats, etc. As you will be working up close with the animals, you must be comfortable and confident working with a variety of species such as horses, donkeys, mini horses/donkeys, goats, sheep, and chickens/roosters.
