What are the responsibilities and job description for the Summer Camp Mountain Biking Instructor position at Camp High Rocks?
Camp High Rocks is a family-owned, traditional boys summer camp located in the mountains of North Carolina. Founded in 1958, we have been creating long-term partnerships with parents by providing opportunities for boys to develop friendships, independence, and even resilience in a supportive, nurturing community.
We challenge our campers by allowing them to select their own activities and by helping them set personal goals for the summer. The sense of accomplishment instilled in our campers, whether fostered by improvement in activities or from being away from home for the first time, is something that we believe can be life-changing.
