Join Our Team

Positive Adventures creates transformative outdoor experiences that help students build confidence, leadership, resilience, and connection through adventure-based learning. Through camping, climbing, paddling, hiking, and team-building programs across California, we help young people discover what they're capable of—and we're looking for exceptional backpacking guides to help lead the way.

We are seeking experienced, professional Backpacking Guides to support multi-day wilderness expeditions for youth groups during Fall 2026. This position is intended for individuals with demonstrated experience leading overnight backpacking trips in remote backcountry environments. While experience leading youth groups is preferred, guides with strong adult backpacking leadership backgrounds are also encouraged to apply.

As a Backpacking Guide, you will lead students through multi-day wilderness expeditions while ensuring participant safety, fostering positive group culture, teaching outdoor skills, and facilitating meaningful experiences in the backcountry.

Trips may take place in Yosemite National Park or Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and will involve carrying overnight packs, managing backcountry risk, logistics, and leading groups in remote environments with limited resources and communication.

Fall 2026 Trip Dates

Teach backpacking, camping, Leave No Trace, and outdoor living skills
Foster positive group dynamics, teamwork, leadership, and student growth
Support students through physical, emotional, and interpersonal challenges in the backcountry
Assist with camp management, meal preparation, water systems, and other backcountry logistics
Maintain high standards of professionalism, judgement, and risk management throughout the expedition

Qualifications

Certifications:
Must be at least 21 years old
Strong leadership, communication, and facilitation skills
Ability to maintain professionalism and sound judgement under challenging field conditions
Comfortable working collaboratively with co-guides and program staff
Physical: Ability to carry a fully loaded backpack for multiple consecutive days. Ability to travel over varied terrain and significant elevation gain/loss. Ability to work long days in remote backcountry environments and varying weather conditions.

Compensation & Perks

Prep/Debrief Day: $155.00/day
Field Day: $280.00/day
Meals and group equipment provided while on program
Potential travel stipend for qualified candidates traveling significant distances
Access to outdoor industry pro deals
Additional seasonal employment opportunities with Positive Adventures
Opportunity to work with a highly experienced and supportive outdoor education team

TrainingAdditional onboarding and/or training may be required prior to the expedition. Details and timing will be communicated during the hiring process.
