Why This Role Matters

You'll spend the summer coaching people through fear. That teaches you how to stay calm, read a group, and say the right thing at the right moment, and those skills follow you into every job and relationship after this one. You'll also be the person standing at the top of the tower when a camper finally steps off the platform. That's a summer worth having.

Love adventure and encouraging others? This is your chance to make a difference, one climb at a time.

Additional Requirements

Must be 18 years of age or older

Employment is contingent on background and reference checks
