Trip Leader
Wilderness Adventures is looking for Trip Leaders who are enthusiastic about working with students ages 10-20 in group settings. Leaders will guide groups of 8-13 students, with one or two co-leaders through exciting yet challenging adventure activities, as well as teach the curriculum designed for each of our trip types. While trips can be mentally and physically challenging for leaders and participants, our Trip Leaders bring FUN to each day! Adventures range from one to six weeks in duration.
Wilderness Adventures seeks leaders who will be a positive influence on the participants, an inspirational role model, devoted to supporting student growth and education throughout the trip and creating a fun and non-competitive environment in which the students can thrive. We look for people who excel in decision-making, adaptability, risk management, and have the ability to work effectively in a shared leadership position.
