Bellingham Job Openings – work with Majestic Adventures
POSITIONS FOR HIRE
Part-time & Full-Time Summer Camp Quest Leaders:
Summer positions are open for part-time employment 30 hours/week (approximately 9:30am-3:30pm), Fridays require working an additional 30-60 minutes at the end of the day (paperwork). We are looking for a couple of new staff to join our merry band of returning staff. Our camps run from mid-June through late August.
Part-time School-Year Quest Leaders:
School year positions (fall/winter/spring) are open for part-time employment 6-15 hours/week Quest Leading in after-school programs. Time would be ~2-5 or 3-6 pm most weekdays. Each after-school program is on a particular day and time for a series of weeks, so you could commit to, for instance, Mondays & Wednesdays from 2-5pm for 8 weeks in a row. Each program will average 3 hours per week, so by working 5 days a week there is the opportunity for roughly 15 hours/week Quest Leading after-school programs. We also run holiday camps on school days off, which offer an opportunity for ~6 hours/day of work on select days through the school year. Amount of work in after-school programs is dependent on whether schools open up after-school programs again next school year.
Part-time Weekend Birthday / Festival Leaders:
Quest Leading with a focus on one-time events such as at birthday parties, festivals, and other specialty programs. If you have what it takes to Quest Lead, with an extra dash of charisma, and you’re free on the weekends, this is for you!
