We offer you an inclusive and intentional community of outdoor enthusiasts, having huge impacts on kids, all while living our core values every day:  Live Fun, Live Environmentally Connected, Live Truth, Live Smart(er), Live Gratitude, Live Empowered, Live Balanced, Live Community.

About Avid4 Adventure

Founded in 2004 in the heartland of outdoor adventure, Boulder, Colorado, Avid4 Adventure is the premier outdoor adventure summer camp for kids. We lead campers on authentic outdoor adventures that include rock climbing, mountain biking, SUP & kayak paddling, and more! With a mission of empowering kids to choose active outdoor lifestyles, our programs are designed to launch kids into a lifetime of outdoor adventure. We believe that our environment and our people are just as important as profit and we are proud to be a  Certified B Corp and consistently in the top 50 on  Outside Magazine's Best Places to Work .

A Day in Your Avid4 Adventure Life

You begin each day at a local recreational site where you will have a quick meeting with fellow instructors, then pull your equipment for your day of adventure with your co-instructor. After reviewing the logistics for the day and safety checking your gear, your campers will arrive and you will have some time for team building activities, equipment checks, and a game or two. You'll run through a safety briefing, then begin instruction for the day (you will learn EVERYTHING you need to know about how to instruct these activities at our staff training). You'll teach, play, learn and laugh as you guide your campers through a day of outdoor education. From there, you'll wrap up the activity, load up the gear, and hand kiddos back to parents and share the successes that they had during the pick-up process.

Job Requirements

  • Must be at least 18 years of age by the start of camp
  • 1 year of college or equivalent life experience (preferred)
  • Minimum of Basic First Aid & CPR certification by the start of camp (and we can point you in the right direction to get this done)

  • Monday - Friday, about 40 hours/week
  • This is a seasonal position, training starts in late May/early June and camp runs through mid-August. For specific dates and details on each location & program, please click here .
