Camp Assistants

Company: High Adventure
Location: Staffordshire & Lake District
Benefits: £225 / £350 for the duration of the contract + full board + training
Start: May/June
Duration: 8/12 weeks

Description
Looking for experience working in the outdoor industry?

This is an excellent opportunity for anyone on an Outdoor Education based course to gain valuable work experience and develop skills under the guidance of experienced outdoor staff.

A work experience placement is extremely valuable on your CV as it shows commitment and a willingness to learn but is an unpaid undertaking.

To ensure some pocket money we have incorporated a camp assistant role which involves: putting up tents and taking them down at the end of a short season, a three hour evening meal shift involving serving and washing up and a two hour toilet cleaning shift, both once a week.

The position runs from 2nd June - 25th July at the camp in Staffordshire, and 5th May - 25th July at the camp in the Lake District.

Successful applicants will be trained to assist in all the activities and receive a 1st aid qualification.

Requirements
Applicants must be at least 16 years old.

No experience necessary.

The High Adventure Outdoor Education Centre is owned & run by outdoor enthusiasts who have successfully escaped the teaching profession. Based in the stunning Yorkshire Dales with summer options in the Lakes and rural Staffordshire, High Adventure OEC is perfectly placed to meet the needs of our clients.

As professionals, safety & quality are our priority. We provide enjoyment, achievement & adventure, and promote independence in a challenging , exciting yet controlled environment. Our teaching background makes us acutely aware of the needs of both staff & pupils who visit our centres.

SUMMER CAMPS

Our summer camps take place in Kibblestone - Staffordshire and Lake Windermere - Cumbria.

We have designed our Summer Camp programme to provide maximum activity per individual so that each child can get as much as possible out of the trip, we have purposefully avoided activities which by their nature mean only one person at a time can take part e.g. Abseiling.

The camp is designed to be a wild camp and provide a true camping experience, toilets are not next to the tents and we are in 250 acres of woodland not a flat grassy field. We use 8 man tents and put 6 young people in them so they have plenty of room, camp beds are provided to keep them off the floor. Staff have their own tents and for each group we provide a large marquee to use as a social / meeting space.
