Are you a seasoned outdoors-person or backcountry expert looking to trade the solo trail for a legacy-building leadership role? As the Trailblazers Director, you won’t just be hiking; you’ll be the architect of adventure for a new generation of explorers. We are seeking a high-level outdoor professional to manage Camp Kanuga's Trailblazers Program, oversee complex trip logistics, and mentor a team of dedicated guides. From mastering Leave-No-Trace ethics and advanced navigation to innovating our expedition curriculum, you will bridge the gap between rugged wilderness trekking and a vibrant, inclusive community. If you are a WFR-certified (or willing to obtain a WFR certification) leader who thrives on "seeing a need and filling it," come help us evolve the Trailblazers program into the premier backcountry experience of the Southeast.
