We’ll begin hiring for 2027 Montana Dude Ranch in December.
Spend Your Summer in Montana
Thank you for your interest in joining the team at Covered Wagon Ranch!
Working at CWR is more than just a summer job. It’s a chance to live and work in one of the most beautiful places in Montana, meet people from all over the country, make lifelong friendships, and be part of the unique experience we create for our guests each week.
We offer competitive salary, room and board, and the opportunity to spend your summer surrounded by mountains, horses, wildlife, and some pretty incredible people.
Our best seasons happen when we have a crew that works hard, helps each other out, takes pride in what they do, and knows how to have fun along the way. We’re looking for team members who are friendly, dependable, hardworking, and willing to jump in wherever needed. Most importantly, we want people who will be a positive part of the ranch community and can commit to the full season.
Ranch life is an adventure, but it isn’t always easy. The days can be busy, you’ll be living and working alongside the same group of people, and for many employees, it means spending a summer far from home. We encourage applicants to make sure they’re ready to fully embrace the experience — both the work and the fun that comes with it.
If you’re looking for a summer you’ll remember long after it’s over, we’d love to hear from you. Please complete the application below, and feel free to give us a call if you have any questions.
A Quick Note About Pets
Employees are not permitted to bring cats, dogs, or other pets to the ranch. This policy is firm and unfortunately cannot be accommodated on a case-by-case basis due to past experiences. Don’t worry, though, you won’t be lacking animal companionship! The ranch already has plenty of four-legged (and feathered) coworkers, including dogs, cats, goats, chickens, a pig, and lots of horses.
