Overview
New England-based support staffers work in a variety of roles, both in our office and in the field. Additional support staffers shadow our long-distance bike trips to provide support with mechanical, logistical, and medical issues. Support staffers are the first options to fill-in in the event of a trip leader getting sick, injured, or otherwise unable to lead for any period of time. Excellent decision-making, adaptability, risk management skills, and the ability to work effectively in a shared leadership position are important prerequisites. Previous experience working with youth and in leadership positions is preferred.
Qualifications:
Applicants must be at least 20 years old by mid-June, 2025 and hold a valid driver’s license. Select Support Staff positions are restricted to those 21 years old and older.
About Apogee Adventures
Apogee offers summer outdoor adventure programs to teenagers. We provide students with well-designed hiking, biking, community service, and writing programs varying in length from one to four weeks in spectacular locations throughout the world. Other activities include sea kayaking, surfing, snorkeling, ice climbing, rock climbing, and whitewater rafting.
We travel in small, supportive, mixed-gender groups led by dynamic, responsible, and well-trained leaders. In this environment, Apogee’s primary goals are for students to experience a strong sense of community, build their confidence, and gain a greater appreciation for the outdoors. Working together with their group, students will push themselves to learn about themselves and achieve new heights.
We want our students to return home with a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence that carries over into all aspects of life - and we strive for our staff to gain as much from these experiences as our students.
