Outdoor Adventure - Climbing, Ropes, Bikes, River, Camping, Archery - Summer Job/Internship (PAID)

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 from sports, to the waterfront, Outdoor Adventure and the Arts.

Camp Towanda is looking for experienced, outgoing and enthusiastic Outdoor Adventure Instructors. The Outdoor Adventure program at Camp Towanda includes our 40ft climbing wall, high and low rope challenge courses, dual zip lines, self-belaying challenge course, as well as mountain bikes, archery, river excursion and camping. Additionally, we have nature trails and an animal farm including chickens, bunnies, and goats or sheep.

The Outdoor Adventure program allows our campers, both boys and girls aged 7-17, to challenge themselves, get out of their comfort zone, work as a team and take healthy risks, with the support of their camp community. Outdoor Adventure Instructors set the expectations for safety. Safety is of the utmost importance.

Although hired based on experience, we do conduct onsite training during Orientation and during the summer. 

Outdoor Adventure specialists also work with the campers as a counselor, living in a cabin with campers and other co-counselors.
