Meet Ranger Jared My name is Jared Colbert. I am a Ranger at Camp Tuckaho. I ammarried to Shanon and we have four children, Kaylee 14, Kalub 12, Kasen 8, and Mary Lou 3. We also have our best friend Bella, the Great Pyrenees, who loves everyone! We all love camp life. I grew up in Troy, MO, just a mile or two from Camp Tuckaho. Being a Ranger is a whole new experience for me and my entire family, but we are loving it! with a wide array of experiences. Most of my career I have been a heavy equipment operator, 2002 to 2014, which allowed me to travel all over the country working. In 2014, I began working for the City of Troy Public Works and in February of 2021, I began my position as a Ranger at Camp Tuckaho, alongside Ranger Rick. I am really excited about the upcoming happenings at Camp Tuckaho. There are so many awesome things to do and see at Tuckaho. My favorite is the Yurt Site or Boones Loft. Just the beauty of nature everywhere you look is unbelievable. It doesn’t matter what season it is you will always find a something to do or see here at Camp Tuckaho. I am excited to bring new knowledge and experience to GSEM. My professional career comes I love to see campers out here experiencing camp with us. It a great feeling when you see new experiences happening, friendships being made, and girls having fun in the outdoors. Look for me or my family next time you visit! We always like meeting new people and making new friends!
