Outdoor Activities Instructor

   

Lead groups of young people in a range of exciting outdoor activities such as kayaking, skiing, fencing, rock climbing, hiking, archery, orienteering or sailing.

Lattitude has established partnerships with a wide variety of camps and outdoor education centres, some of which cater exclusively for disadvantaged or disabled members of the community.  While paid staff are always present, our volunteers are in high demand to help meet the individual needs of every camp-goer.  As an Outdoor Activities Instructor, your outdoor skills will be put to good use, especially with your involvement in such activities as kayaking, skiing, fencing, rock climbing, horse riding, hiking, archery, ropes, orienteering or sailing.  You’ll also assist with the supervision of camp-goers and participate in the general running of the camp.  In some cases placements will require a qualification in first aid or lifesaving.
