We facilitate youth backpacking programs, adventure-based outdoor education programs, corporate programs, family adventures, custom backpacking trips, and day hikes. We work to ensure our programs are meaningful, supportive, educational, and fun.
We accept applications on a rolling basis for all positions and continue until all positions are filled.

Lasting Adventures is committed to hiring the best applicants, regardless of overall experience, but we follow a method of Diversity Hiring. We actively seek to recruit and interview more BIPOC, women, queer, and trans people to join our incredible educational team. It is important that our participants and guests see themselves in the lives of the people we hire to guide them, so we encourage anyone with genuine interest to apply.
*If you need financial assistance with mandatory certifications, please contact us. As part of our mission to employ the best Outdoor Educators, Lasting Adventures offers a “WFR Repayment Program” for candidates who cannot apply due to the financial constraints of obtaining the Wilderness First Responder certification before employment. This program is only available to qualified individuals after receiving a job offer. It consists of paycheck deductions through the summer to repay the cost of the WFR program in full.
