Application process

Once we receive your resume, we will email qualified candidates a link to our staff application.

We will also check three to four professional references and perform a full background check.

This hiring process is time-intensive, but we have found it to be the best way to create the best instructor teams possible. Most instructor applicants are impressed with the thoroughness of our interview process.

Application deadlines

Adventure Treks will have three application deadlines throughout the year:

December 15

April 15

Applications will be considered until we are fully staffed, so we encourage you to reach out after April 15 about any remaining opportunities.

Important dates

Dates will be posted in fall 2022.

*There are limited spots available for shorter contracts; please let us know if you have scheduling constraints.
