No teaching experience required—just patience, encouragement, and a passion for helping others.

Help us prepare for summer by getting our tents ready prior to sending them out on our summer trips! This involves setting them up, checking for damage, identifying any missing parts, and then breaking them back down and packing them up. It's a simple task that goes quickly with 15 to 20 people. If time allows we will do simple repairs involving gear tape.
