We are seeking enthusiastic and reliable candidates who enjoy being outside and working with kids, love jumping in cold rivers and building big fires, are willing to get “lost” in the woods and climb mountains. Going into its 32nd year, Mud City Adventures is the Stowe Area’s original adventure day camp. As yet, every day is a new adventure as the local mountains, lakes, rivers, and trails are explored and rediscovered. Activities include canoeing/kayaking, rope swinging, swimming hole hopping, river safariing, hiking, tubing, fire and adventure tool building, camp fire cooking, mountain biking, arts and crafts, mega slip-n-slide, and more. Confidence building is key and everyone thrives in our non-competitive “challenge by choice” environment. Campers have the opportunity to truly unplug in nature - we are a phone-free experience. If this sounds exciting, challenging and rewarding to you, come join us this summer!

The ideal candidate is:

• Passionate about being outside, no matter what the weather.
• Able to swim and play in rivers and lakes, ride bikes, paddle canoes, and build forts & fires.
• Strong leadership and group facilitation skills, comfortable directing kids & families on adventures.
• Interest in teaching basic survival skills and outdoor ethics like Leave No Trace.

Position is available from June 16 to August 29, 2025, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm, with some flexibility.

Full time and part time positions available, ranging from 2-5 days per week.

$18-$25 per hour based on experience and qualifications.
