How to Apply

Application window

We will begin accepting resumes for summer 2025 on October 1, 2024.

How to apply

If you meet our qualifications, please email a brief introduction with your resume to employment@adventuretreks.com. This must be done before you can access the staff application.

Application process

Once we receive your resume, we will email qualified candidates a link to our staff application. After we have received your completed application, we can begin our thorough interview process, which includes three interviews with directors to ensure that we are a good match for each other. We will also check three to four professional references and perform a full background check.

This hiring process is time-intensive, but we have found it to be the best way to create the best instructor teams possible. Most instructor applicants are impressed with the thoroughness of our interview process.

Application deadlines

Adventure Treks will have two application deadlines throughout the year:

  • December 15
  • March 1

Applications will be considered until we are fully staffed, so we encourage you to reach out after March 1 about any remaining opportunities. For summer 2024, we were fully staffed by early March. 

Important dates

Summer contract and orientation dates will be posted in fall 2024.

*There are limited spots available for shorter contracts; please let us know if you have scheduling constraints.
