Spend your summer having the adventure of a lifetime at Camp Towanda!
Camp Towanda is the premier co-ed, 7-week sleep-away camp for children ages 7-17. We offer a well-rounded program of activities, including sports, waterfront activities, outdoor adventure, and the arts.
We are looking for experienced, outgoing, and enthusiastic Outdoor Adventure Instructors. The Outdoor Adventure program includes a 40ft climbing wall, high and low rope challenge courses, dual zip lines, a self-belaying challenge course, mountain biking, archery, river excursions, and camping. We also have nature trails and an animal farm with chickens, bunnies, goats, and sheep.
The program encourages campers aged 7-17 to challenge themselves, work as a team, and take healthy risks, with safety as the top priority. Outdoor Adventure Instructors are responsible for setting safety expectations and ensuring a safe environment.
While hiring is based on experience, onsite training is provided during orientation and the summer.
Instructors also serve as cabin counselors, living with campers and other staff. This role offers hands-on experience, leadership opportunities, and the development of skills such as flexibility, adaptability, initiative, self-direction, social and cross-cultural skills, productivity, accountability, leadership, and responsibility.
