Adventure Challenge Instructor

The Adventure Challenge Instructor is responsible for organizing, leading, and supervising a variety of adventure-based programs that follow the “Challenge by Choice” philosophy and are designed to meet the needs of all participants. Activities may include ground-based initiatives, low and high challenge courses, climbing towers, zip line, and other recreational camp activities.

Key responsibilities include conducting and documenting pre- and post-inventories of adventure challenge equipment, performing regular equipment checks to ensure safety, and reporting repair or replacement needs in a timely manner. Instructors are expected to follow all policies and procedures regarding the use of elements and equipment as developed by Bradford Woods. We typically hire five people for this role to work as a team. 

In addition to facilitating adventure programming, the Adventure Challenge Instructor will assist with evening programs as assigned by the Evening Program Instructor, typically runs a Challenge Day station (zipline or climbing tower), and contributes to the overall camp community. This position lives in the cabins for the duration of the summer and assists with camper personal care (i.e. toileting, showering, dressing, eating, etc.), activities of daily living, and medical procedures (i.e. g-tubes, maces, montis). When not setting up, tearing down, or leading activities, the Adventure Challenge Instructor will engage with campers in their assigned cabin group to ensure a positive and supportive experience.
