Trip Leader

We're proud of the overnight trips we take, and during the summer months, taking a trip out of camp is one of the highlights for our campers. We're looking for trip leaders to help make this program a success. Our season is from June 4th to August 20th. As a Trip Leader, you'll plan and lead 1-to 5-night trips to various destinations throughout the beautiful San Juan Islands. While on land, you'll teach outdoor skills and environmental care and encourage campers to develop self-sufficiency. Safety is a top priority. You should be comfortable leading trips in at least two of the following modes of transportation: kayak, canoe, backpacking, and sailing. Lifeguard Training, Wilderness First Aid (such as WFA, WFR, or WEMT), documented skill, and experience leading similar trips are all required. You will need to get your certifications prior to arrival to camp (within the next 3 weeks). We can assist you in finding training courses. Our Trip Leaders must be at least 21 years old. You will work in a team of 5 Trip Leaders that we hire each summer.
