We add Trip Leaders to our roster on a rolling basis, with a heavy focus on onboarding in September and December/January. Submit your information to our Trip Leader Interest Form and we’ll be in touch if we believe you’re a fit.
Explore Austin Trip Leaders must be at least 21 years old, have a valid driver’s license and have experience instructing any of the following outdoor disciplines: canoeing, rock climbing, navigation, mountain biking, or multi-day river/backpacking trips.
