For Scarborough, ME OR Portsmouth, NH
Position Description: Climbing Instructors work together with the Camp Director/Coordinator to provide a caring and supportive environment for their campers. During a day at camp, instructors will facilitate climbing, crafts, games, and other activities. Instructors will also teach campers technical skills (including belaying,crate-stacking, and mock-leading). Campers will range in age from ages 5 through 14 and will have varying climbing experience.

- Are comfortable working at a tech free camp.
- Maintain a professional attitude and appearance at all times.
- CPR & First Aid Certification
- Enjoy working with children under 14 years old – experience working with this age-group is preferred.
- Plan to have FUN! Summer Camp is a place for fun, making friends, and trying new things. We expect our Instructors to foster a fun and positive atmosphere.
Position Details: Instructors should be available from June 15 – August 21, Monday through Friday. Camp hours are 8:30am-3:30pm; Instructors should expect to work at least a half-hour on either end of these hours, sometimes more. Priority given to applicants who are available for the entire summer season. Hourly rate starting at $16.
