At Arowhon, you will receive professional training and expert support and supervision. You will grow yourself while you help children grow. You will leave feeling proud because you made campers feel proud of themselves. You will work hard and play hard, all in a beautiful wilderness setting.

Our in-camp activities are focused on teaching activity specific technical skills to both beginners and experts. Our goal is that our campers develop technical proficiency,  build self-confidence, and develop a sense of community through instruction.

We are currently seeking Head and Assistant Instructors in all 18 of our activity areas, including: High Ropes and Zipline, Rock Climbing, Archery, Nature, Ball Hockey, Fieldsports, Basketball, Flatwater and Whitewater Kayaking, Swimming, Sailing, Tennis, Wind Surfing, Arts and Crafts, Guitar and Music, Drama, Horseback Riding, Yoga and FAD (Fitness, Aerobics and Dance).
