Welcome to RAW Adventure! If you are committed to working with children, and you have experience and/or qualifications in the outdoors, then keep reading because we may have the position for you.
Why RAW Adventure?
Where can I apply to work?
We are running our RAW Adventure camps at 11 sites across the country.(listed below). All RAW sites currently run our Super Camps multi-activity programme, and we feel they fit the back-to-basics characteristics that define our RAW camps. The programme will be based in large canvas tents, but we will be outside even in poor weather! However – you’ll have a RAW Adventure Jacket to keep you dry!
When you apply, you will be asked which Super Camps site you would like to work at – make sure it is listed below. These are grouped into 5 regions, and you will be expected to travel to any of the sites within your region. Camps will run for 1 or 2 weeks at each location in any particular region throughout the summer. Preferably, we would like you to be available to work for the full 5 weeks in your region, but we will accept applications for fewer weeks.
