Dear Beth,

My name is Keith Nelson alumni and brother from Alpha Rho in Austin, Texas.  I am currently recruiting staff to join us for summer 2012 at Northern Tier National High Adventure Program in Ely, MN.  Northern Tier fully-outfits crews of 6 to 12 people for 6 to 10 day canoe trips in the North Woods of Minnesota and Canada. This is a great opportunity for APO Brothers to build themselves financially, physically, as a leader, and as an outdoorsperson.  We maintain the highest standards in training and quality of our facilities and staff.

I would like to see more of my APO Brothers on staff because I know they possess the values of service, leadership, and friendship.  What can I do in your section to share this opportunity?  I also have flyers and brochures (in PDF and physical form) for distribution.

Positions Available:
Interpreter: Guides canoe trips; provides outdoor skills training to participants; Acts as a resource for safety, environmental awareness, and local history
Outfitting:  Distributes & maintains trail equipment & commissary food
Trading Post: Assists with displays, inventories, and sales of the Trading Post
Maintenance:  Maintains facilities; must be 21 & have current Driver’s License
History:  Hosts nightly “Rendezvous” campfires; acts as a living history program guide
Food Service:  Works in a state-of-the art kitchen; prepares & serves meals
Office Support: Assists in office, data entry, answering phones, making copies, crew check-in etc.


Benefits and Pay:
Starting pay is $215 per week and up depending on position.  We provide room and board and gear rental.  We offer paid staff training in canoeing and camping skills, Wilderness First Aid, and CPR.  Most employees come away with friendships, adventures, and memories that last a lifetime.  Some staff also receive internship credit through their school.

Qualifications:
The most important quality of Northern Tier staff is solid moral character and a positive, enthusiastic, attitude.  Having a true appreciation for the outdoors and the environment is also a plus. I recommend anyone exemplifying these traits send in their application.   We are known for our outstanding staff training program in preparing novice staff members in thriving in the wilderness. You bring the positive attitude and we will give you all the skills needed to be successful.

Dates of employment vary with most positions starting mid-late May & ending mid-August.
Hiring begins in November and continues through March.  Apply early!

Hi -

In addition to Northern Tier (which is a fun and beautiful place), there

are lots of other opportunities to work at camps for the BSA.  There are

local camps throughout the country and other high adventure bases (like

Northern Tier) where young people (usually teenagers) take more

challenging trips.  All of these camps need staff members who are at

least 18 years of age.  Here are a few more places to look for positions.

Each has job opportunities that don't require long backpack or canoe trips -

people are needed to prepare meals, distribute and inventory equipment,

manage registrations and funds, sell items at the trading post, historical

interpretation, and others.

Goshen Scout Reservation is the main camp for the National Capital

Area Council.  It is located in southwestern Virginia (not far from Staunton

and Lexington).  We hire a couple hundred staff members each year for

the multiple camps and our high adventure program - here is the link:

Philmont Scout Ranch in northern New Mexico hires more than 1000

people each summer.  http://www.philmontscoutranch.org/jobs.aspx

Maine High Adventure - lead and support canoe trips in the Baxter State Park

        and Allagash River area of northern Maine

http://www.mainehighadventure.org/    -  "Serve on Camp Staff" link

Feel free to contact me if you have questions about any of these

or if you are looking for a position working with kids in another part

of the country or with an organization other than the BSA.

Have fun,

David O'Leary
