Apply NowMountain Biking Job Description
Mountain Biking is new to Greystone and has quickly become one of our most popular activities. We are looking for counselors who have mountain biking experience and a keen eye for instruction and safety. Our program is run by a certified PMBIA instructor and former Greystone men staffer. It’s a great community where you will work hard and play hard!
What’s a Typical Day Like in Mountain Biking?
Mountain Biking begins each class with a quick overview of what the day will hold. Whether it’s passing a level, hitting the River Trail, or conquering our new pump track, each class focuses on gaining a new skill while having a lot of fun.
As part of the Mountain Biking Staff, you will be an essential part of a close-knit team that will balance safety with fun. Our Mountain Biking Staff encourages and engages with our campers throughout the class, helping them to achieve their goals and surpass their expectations. You will love working on our Mountain Biking Staff if you enjoy encouraging those around you while also having a keen eye for safety and detail.
What are the activity teaching periods like?
For June, Main, and August Camps, we have 5 classes in the morning and two classes in the afternoon that are 40 minutes long. Once girls are fitted for a helmet and a bike, they hit the trails! Staff often ride alongside campers.
What training and certifications do I need?
Our Mountain Biking staff participates in pre-camp training led by a local professional that focuses on teaching strategies and safety. This training will take place at Greystone.
Why Work for Us?
Greystone is so much more than just a fun summer job. Here you’ll work hard and navigate challenges in a supportive environment, growing as a leader and as a professional. Invest in your future with a summer at camp!
Are there Benefits?
Room and board, support and development, an incredible location in the mountains of North Carolina, staff giveaways (that are above and beyond the industry!), and the community of a lifetime.
