Responsibilities include:

• Planning daily and weekly activities based on group and weather dynamics
• Leading and supervising groups of campers in daily activities
• Teaching and demonstrating mountain biking and outdoor skills
• Managing group safety and skill sets

Summer Camp 2026 – Assistant Coaches / Counselors

We’re looking for motivated, energetic individuals with a love for mountain biking and the outdoors to join our Assistant Coach team for the 2026 Summer Camp season! Assistant Coaches will support approximately 5–9 weeks of Mountain Biking and Explorers Day Camps between June 15 and August 14, 2026.

This is an excellent opportunity for those who have aged out of our youth programs or are looking to build their leadership, group management, and public speaking skills.

Responsibilities include:

• Supporting Lead Coaches in daily camp operations
• Mentoring CITs and assisting with skill sessions and activities
• Helping manage group safety, gear, and logistics

• Must be 16 years of age or older by the start of camp
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Interest in youth development, coaching, or outdoor education
