A Day at Boundary Ranch
No two days at Boundary Ranch are the same. Mornings often begin with preparation and teamwork, whether that’s caring for horses, opening the front desk, or preparing the kitchen for service.
Throughout the day, you’ll work closely with your teammates to welcome guests, share the ranch experience, and create moments people will remember long after they leave.
Evenings often bring time to relax and connect, with staff gatherings, campfires, stargazing, or simply enjoying the mountain setting together. It’s a workplace where teamwork, laughter, and community are just as important as the work itself.

“Working at Boundary Ranch was a fantastic experience. I got to work with a great team of wranglers and learned a lot about horsemanship and packing horses in the mountains. That experience also opened a lot of doors in the outfitting industry. Living and working in beautiful Kananaskis was an awesome way to spend a summer!”
