This position will play a crucial role in gear distribution every morning of camp (June – August) and gear pick up every afternoon during the same season. Driving may include 1-2 hours in the morning and 1-2 hours in the afternoon in order to distribute kayaks, SUPs, bikes, and rock climbing equipment to various recreation areas in a particular geographic region.

Work closely with the local Regional Manager and Camp Director to learn best practices and to ensure all camps are receiving the support needed.
Load, drive, and distribute sport equipment to/from staff and campers daily. Maintain detailed inventory and support restock of equipment as necessary.
Ensure all gear is clean and in good working order at all camps. Make repairs within your skillset and support equipment repairs through external vendors (i.e. coordinate bike drop off at a local shop, take trucks to service centers, etc.).
Assist with training and any logistical needs prior to camp starting.
Assist with packing in at the end of the summer including end-of-the-season gear sales.
Fill in as a substitute instructor when called upon.
