Job Description

We are hiring for Summer 2025

Outdoor Adventures consists of three main areas: climbing wall, rental equipment, and outdoor trips. All three program areas of Outdoor Adventures provide a unique and exciting work environment for beginners or experienced climbers and outdoor enthusiasts.

All employees start out as climbing wall monitors and equipment specialists with the opportunity to progress to trip leading. Climbing wall monitors belay climbers and provide instruction and supervision of belay techniques. Equipment specialists greet OA visitors seeking climbing or rental equipment, respond to equipment reservation requests, and assist with distributing outdoor equipment rentals.

Staff will strive to create a fun and welcoming environment by providing top-of-the-line customer service and educating customers on everything Outdoor Adventures and Recreation and Physical Education have to offer.

Duke Recreation and Physical Education reaffirms our commitment to fighting racism and supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion. It is our mission to build awareness and leadership around anti-racism by generating transformative conversations, tangible changes, and experiences through assessment, intentional actions, and holding our community accountable.
