Tell me more about hiking and trip leading at summer camp...

Let’s get wild. The great outdoors is a fundamental part of summer camp and camp life. Coming away from the city, hiking and trip leading is a fantastic way for the campers to get closer to nature and to enjoy the adventure.

From short trails and daily hikes to overnight campouts and excursions. Being a trip leader is all about making the ordinary extraordinary,  observing the skill level and leading the way. From overseeing and leading trips, ensuring the safety of the campers and the maintenance of equipment.

You should bring expertise and enthusiasm. It is expected for a leader to have relevant experience and knowledge of the field. It’s about having the experience to take trip leading to the next level.

Why should I teach hiking and trip leading at camp?

The US has some of the most spectacular landscapes and natural trails. If you are energetic and love hiking, then spend your summer discovering and exploring the terrain around camp, teaching others your skills and having the greatest summer adventure.

Camp Directors are looking for someone who can react quickly and will be able to confidently lead groups of all ages and abilities through various terrain. You should show confidence and talk about your own experiences which will equip you for this role.
