Summer Adventure Education Internship
Outdoor Education Interns support Lead & Assistant Instructors in running trips, camps and courses. They must have some climbing experience, and be competent and confident in belay skills. Interns generally need not be very experienced, but are energetic and keen to learn new skills and fit in wherever they can. They are responsible, professional and eager to develop their abilities.
Interns spend a lot of time supporting Adventure Day Camp and Teen Climbing Camp, but might also assist with a family climbing day or school group on occasion. Actual work experience will depend on each intern’s interest and abilities.
