Outdoor Education Instructor

Located 40 minutes north of Pittsburgh, YMCA Camp Kon-O-Kwee Spencer is a 550+ acre facility that provides programming built around belonging, adventure, accomplishment, and leadership, with activities that include: canoeing, pond ecology, indoor rock climbing, low and high ropes courses, archery, BB guns, crafts, guided hikes, campfires, and so much more!

The Outdoor Education program serves school and retreat groups during the fall (September – November) and spring (April – June) seasons. Outdoor Education Instructors bring the magic of nature to life by leading discovery based environmental lessons such as pond ecology and nature hikes, inspire people to embrace new challenges by facilitating both low and high ropes teambuilding activities, and guide others to find their passion by running recreation-based activities like archery and candle making. Instructors should be willing to work outside in all weather conditions, enjoy working with people, and be passionate and excited to learn new things. Long term seasonal employment through the Outdoor Education and Summer seasons (April – November) is possible for the right fit.  

The fun continues during the summer through a traditional overnight camp experience for youth (2nd-11th grade), and an overnight camp experience for adults with special needs (ages 18 and older) through the Camp Spencer Superstars program.
