Job description

Camp Lindenmere is looking for enthusiastic, responsible, Ropes Course / Climbing Instructors. Located on 200 acres in Pennsylvania's beautiful Pocono Mountains, Camp Lindenmere is a private, coed sleepaway camp founded in 1935, for campers ranging in age from 7-17. Our multi-element, High Ropes Course offers challenges for every skill level. Beginners are able to focus on a single element, while more advanced climbers can take advantage of the circuit design where all our elements are linked together to form a true course, including a 400-foot Zipline. The combination of these elements gives Lindenmere one of the best Ropes Programs in camping. Our 25-foot and 50-foot, multi-faced climbing walls have multiple skill levels built-in, and includes a cargo net, overhangs, repelling station, varying rated climbing routes, and is connected to the rest of the course. It can be used as a starting point for the multi-element high ropes course or just for those campers that want to work on their climbing skills. Low elements include: Low & High "Up and Over" Walls; Nitro Swing; Grapevine Traverse; 3-Line Traverse; Train Tracks; Swinging Log; Spider Web, etc. We also have a brand new Ninja Warrior Course with 3 Warped Walls.
