Introduction

Avid4 Adventure is hiring full time seasonal (June-August) Camp Logistics Specialists in Washington, California, Illinois, Minnesota, Colorado, and Maine. This position will support the logistics of one – two camp locations. The position is responsible for the ongoing management of the adventure gear used – daily distribution, inventory and maintenance of equipment at a designated camp.

This individual will be responsible for responding to unexpected events at the camp location and work to solve gear and vehicle specific issues. These positions will be based at a camp location in one of the aforementioned states and may require travel at the start and the end of the summer season to attend training and transport equipment from Colorado.
