Climbing Instructor – Indoor Summer Camps 2024

Position Description:Climbing Instructors work together with the Camp Director to provide a caring and supportive environment for their campers. During a day at camp, Instructors will facilitate climbing, crafts, games, and other activities. Instructors will also teach campers technical skills (including belaying, rappelling, and mock-leading) and outdoor living skills (tent set-up, compass and map use, etc). Campers will range in age from ages 5 through 14 and will have varying climbing experience.

Desired Applicant Attributes: An interest in climbing is a must, but skill level is far less important than your enthusiasm and dedication to the delivery of great service.

Applicants for this position should:

• Be friendly, caring, and kind.
• Expect to spend most of the day on their feet, actively engaged with the campers.
• Maintain a professional attitude and appearance at all times.
• Enjoy working with children under 14 years old – experience working with this age-group is preferred.
• Plan to have FUN! Summer Camp is a place for fun, making friends, and trying new things. We expect our Instructors to foster a fun and positive atmosphere.

Position Details: Instructors will work from June 12 - Aug 25, Monday through Friday. Camp hours are 8:30am-3:00pm; Instructors should expect to work at least a half-hour on either end of these hours, sometimes more. Priority given to applicants who are available for the entire summer season. Hourly rate starting at $16 with an end of summer bonus likely.
