Today I am interviewing a couple from central Colorado who created a wedding venue on their family-owned ranch. They need a Workamping couple to keep the landscaping looking nice, and to prepare the reception hall and wedding barn before events.
Rex and Gina Younger, are the current owners of Younger Ranch, a 111-year-old active cattle ranch located an hour south of Denver and 30 minutes north of Colorado Springs.
They opened the ranch to host weddings in 2014 when their daughter opted to get married on the property. The Youngers have already booked 25 events for 2025, but expect to book a few more before the season ends.
There is a big reception hall on the property, but also a separate barn for the bridal party to use in getting ready, as well as a special 25-foot-tall tipi for the guys to use. The outdoor ceremony site features a spectacular 25-mile unobstructed view of Pikes Peak.
Professional caterers are contracted to handle the food and beverage service as well as photography and music. In fact, Workampers aren’t necessarily involved in the weddings at all.
Because Rex and Gina live about 45 minutes from the property, Workampers may be called upon to give tours of the venue to prospective customers when the Youngers aren’t available.
The part-time position starts May 1st and continues through mid-October. Workampers put in about 24 hours a week.
In exchange, they receive a free full-hookup RV site, which includes internet service, too. There is no pay for this job, but Workampers do get to take a lot of time off.
Experience is not necessary, but it would help if Workampers had some handyman skills to troubleshoot problems and fix minor issues.
The most important trait is a bubbly personality when talking to guests on the occasions Workampers need to meet with customers.
Although there are cattle and long-horns living on the ranch, Workampers are not involved in caring for them. However, they may be able to interact with the animals upon occasion, if they wish.
More information about this opportunity, including pictures of the ranch itself, can be found at www.youngerranch.com. Workampers interested in applying for a job can find a phone number and email address on the website’s contact page.
