Summer Camp Backcountry Instructor
The Pine Project is seeking Instructors to join our Red Wolf Overnight Wilderness Camp team.

This is an exciting opportunity for individuals with outdoor education experience, particularly backcountry and adventure-programming experience. Working under the supervision of the Camp Manager, Red Wolf Camp Instructors are responsible for a variety of different areas of camp life including running games and activities in a backcountry setting, as well as preparing meals and supporting campers in learning how to live off the land.
