## Description

### **Now Hiring for Late Spring & Summer 2026!**

Looking for a fun, active job this summer where you can work outdoors, meet great people, and be part of a high-energy team?

At Highlands Aerial Park, we create unforgettable outdoor experiences in the mountains—and we’re hiring for the upcoming season. Whether you're a student, seasonal worker, or just looking for something different than a typical job, this is a great opportunity to spend your summer outside and stay active.

No prior experience? No problem. We’ll train you to be awesome.

### **What This Role Looks Like**

As a Summer Outdoor Adventure Guide, you’ll lead and support a variety of experiences throughout the park. Our team is cross-trained across multiple attractions, so you’ll have the opportunity to stay engaged and learn different roles throughout the season.

You may guide or assist with:

-   Zipline tours
-   UTV (side-by-side) guided tours
-   Aerial attractions including swings and climbs
-   Kids and family adventure courses
-   Guided hikes

This is a high-energy, guest-facing role where your attitude, communication, and ability to create a great experience matter just as much as your technical skills.

-   Opportunities to grow into long-term or returning roles
-   Full pay structure is reviewed during the interview process

### **What You’ll Do**

-   Reliable, adaptable, and team-oriented

-   Willingness to learn, grow, and take on new challenges
