The Adirondack Trail Improvement Society Trail Crew operates in one of the Northeast's best wilderness settings maintaining some of the most dramatic and demanding trails in the High Peaks.  The ATIS Trail Crew season begins with a patrol of the entire trail system to remove winter blow down, clean existing drainage structures, and assess damage from the winter. Following the patrol, the crew will work on selected projects for the remainder of the season to repair, harden or reroute trails. The crew is also responsible for maintaining and, if necessary, rebuilding 20 bridges and 24 ladders in the trail system. Compensation starts at $800/week, but increases based on experience. Generally, the crew returns to the valley each evening to a well-appointed camp, and thus can avoid some of the rigors of living in a backcountry camp. Food is provided when working during overnight stints in the backcountry, and boat/bus access to private lakes is provided on days off. Compensation ranges from $800–$1,000/week, and staff can apply for support for additional trainings and certifications. Applicants must be self-motivated, physically fit, and typically have prior trail work and backcountry experience. Candidates with experience using chainsaws, building log/wooden structures, using and rigging highlines, and working with typical hand tools for trail work are preferred, but hard skills are not required to apply.
• If you have a passion for trail work, living and working outdoors, and a willingness to learn new skills, email your cover letter and resume to Erik Jacobson. Positions run from mid-May to early August (40 hours/week, MO-FR).  
Join the Camp Woodie team in fostering a fun, supportive, and adventurous environment where staff and campers can grow, explore, and make lasting memories together. Developing the next generation of hunters, anglers, and marksmen, Camp Woodie is a week-long residential summer camp for kids ages 7-16 operated by the South Carolina Waterfowl Association. Summer camp staff will serve as a cabin counselor (live with, lead, and look out for your cabin) and trained to help run a variety of specialty activities that include Adventure, Conservation, Fishing, Archery, and Shooting. Staff training runs May 16th–29th, and camp sessions run May 30th–July 30th. Enjoy time off from Friday afternoon through Sunday morning, and there's a lot within reach: Lake Marion (the largest lake in South Carolina), Congaree National Park, and the coast is an easy drive for a beach day or a night downtown. Pay starts at $450/week, plus meals, shared living space in modern lodges with air conditioning and hot water, and paid training and any necessary certifications. Hunting, fishing, shooting, or camp experience is a plus; a teachable attitude matters more. • If you thrive in nature, love inspiring young campers, and are ready to create unforgettable experiences, apply online.   |
