Meet the Alpenguides - Our Trip Leaders
Our camp guides are the best… some say they even have Superpowers!
Alpenguide duties go far beyond typical camp counselor jobs by providing wilderness medical care, evaluating and managing risks, leading adventure activities, driving vans and by planning and preparing delicious meals with campers.
