Outdoor Adventure jobs are perfect for you if you love the outdoors and have a sense of adventure. Camps are looking for amazing people to lead camping, hiking and mountain biking. Surround yourself with the great outdoors! You could even become a hiking specialist or trip leader while at camp.
Camps in America are surrounded by the country’s best woodland trails, breathtaking scenery and clean air. From short overnight trips to four weeks or even taking campers on day hikes. Your summer will be spent exploring the outdoors and there is plenty to see and do! Do you know your butterfly from your square knot? How to start a campfire? Or even how the best campfire recipes? Being an outdoor adventure specialist means putting all of these skills into play.
Each role will be varied from camp to camp as well as the location and facilities. However, you can guarantee that the outdoors will be a big part of your summer!
Every day at camp is a little different from the one before, but that’s part of the fun at camp! Leading Hiking and Outdoor Adventure trips at Summer Camp means you’ll find yourself planning out exciting hikes. As well as this you’ll be leading groups of campers, setting up campsites, and outdoor cooking.
You’re responsible for keeping all the campers safe and making sure they’re having as much fun as possible.
