Summer Camp / Assistant Guide Staff needed in Yosemite National Park

Our Guide Staff begin as Summer Camp Counselors on our flagship summer camp program, which begins in late May/early June with mandatory staff training and runs to mid-August. In an average season, counselors can expect about 15-20 days of work per month; some months may have more or less work than others. Pending availability and success of our summer camp program, some guides will have the opportunity to work as Assistant Guides on our Guide Service program on Backpacking and Day Trips. This can extend the season through September or early October. All Summer Camp Counselors/Assistant Guides must be at least 21 years old prior to beginning work.

Minimum Requirements for Counselors/Guides:

• Able to legally work in the United States (unfortunately, we are not an H2B Visa Employer)
• A minimum of 21 years old (18+ for Interns)
• Current Wilderness First Responder (Wilderness First Aid for Interns) certification or higher and current CPR certification
