    Job Description

    • Lead Adventures. Inspire Confidence. Work Where the Mountains Are Your Office.

    If you love being active, connecting with people, and helping others push past their comfort zones, this job was made for you. YMCA of the Rockies is looking for an Adventure Activities Facilitator to bring energy, safety, and heart to our climbing walls, ropes courses, and mountain adventure programs just outside Rocky Mountain National Park.

    This isn’t a desk job—it’s a chance to spend your days guiding guests through unforgettable experiences, building teamwork, and creating moments that matter in one of the most beautiful places in Colorado.

    What You’ll Do

    As an Adventure Activities Facilitator, you’ll be part of a mission-driven team delivering high-quality, safe, and engaging programming at the Boone Family Mountain Center. Your days may include:

    Belaying and facilitating indoor and outdoor climbing wall sessions

    • Leading low ropes team-building activities and assisting with high ropes courses

    Creating welcoming, confidence-building experiences for guests of all ages

    Running the Adventure Activities desk—answering questions, registering guests, and sharing local knowledge

    Handling cash and credit transactions for programs, rentals, and merchandise

    • Supporting smooth daily operations with setup, teardown, and teamwork

    Every shift is different—and every guest leaves because of you feeling stronger, braver, and more connected.

    Why YMCA of the Rockies At YMCA of the Rockies, we believe in putting Christian principles into practice by building healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. Our staff live and work in a community rooted in purpose, service, and inclusion—where nature inspires growth and every role makes a real impact.

    Here, you’re not just facilitating activities—you’re helping create lifelong memories.

    What We’re Looking For CPR certification (or willingness to obtain during training)

    Strong people skills and comfort working with all ages

    Ability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays

    Comfort working at heights and in outdoor environments

    Passion for teamwork, safety, and guest experience

    Previous facilitation experience is a plus—but not required

    Work Environment Perks Indoor and outdoor work in a stunning mountain setting

    Active, hands-on days—no sitting still

    Meaningful work that combines adventure, service, and community

    A supportive team that values Caring, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, and Faith

    If you’re ready to turn your love of adventure into a job with purpose, we’d love to meet you. Join YMCA of the Rockies and help guests discover what they’re capable of—one climb at a time.
