“The cover letter for the ACC states that crew members will spend the summer “outdoors living in the Rocky Mountains, building lifelong friendships, learning about the natural environment, networking with people in the National Park and Forest Services, and protecting and preserving Colorado’s public lands.”   They should add that crew members will spend the summer finding themselves and developing into the person they’ve always wanted to be.”

“I found peace on the trail that I’ve never come across in any other job. And this feeling, for me, is success, whether it’s the breathtaking views in the Park or the heartwarming smile from an appreciative hiker. This summer has left me with a new outlook on what life is all about.”

Grady Anderson, 2012 Estes Crew

“As the Shadow Mountain crew left the village, all we could do was to reflect on the amazing summer we had and the wonderful people we worked with. Love every project you work on because you are doing good work and take as many pictures as possible- you’re going to want them when you leave! Best of luck and enjoy everything ACC has to offer.”
