Adventure Trip Leader

An Adventure Trip Leader coordinates and leads offsite trips for groups of 15. This person will manage the Adventure cabin leaders assigned to their trip as well as the campers through a weeklong adventure providing a safe and fun environment in which campers can thrive. This person will ensure all matters of their trip are taken care of including interactions with outfitters, gear/food packing, and camp site set up. The Adventure Program is an outdoor wilderness experience that spends time away from our camp property for the majority of each session. Training will begin May 17th, and the last day of camp will be August 1st. Trip leaders are required to be certified in wilderness first aid. If a trip leader does not have their WFA certification already, Camp Greenville will pay for them to receive training and certification during staff training. Trip leaders will live in staff housing while they are on camp, but will be expected to be present with their group throughout each day.
