Learn how to not only provide instruction but emotional and motivational support that pushes students to thrive and be their best self.
5. Build Your Resume
Working on staff for one of our summer programs is the perfect way to build your resume. Throughout the summer, you’ll gain important personal and interpersonal skills that are necessary for any career in the outdoors. The scenarios you encounter on a Wilderness Adventures trip will showcase relatability to situations that occur in the classroom and workplace.
6. Meet New Friends
One of our favorite benefits of serving on staff is meeting new friends. Each summer we have the opportunity to connect with those who live worldwide and are searching for an adventure.
