What it's like being an outdoor instructor?

You will be experiencing a WHOLE NEW LIFESTYLE and way of working:

  • Learning and working in NATURE, instead of in an office

  • Different working hours allow you to enjoy sunrises and sunsets, instead of Mon to Fri 9-5

  • Coworker? Friends? Family?... sometimes it's hard to differentiate. We are one community.

  • On top of your salary and benefits, it's extra rewarding and fulfilling knowing and witnessing the impact of your work to #FutureProofYOUth
