At Lillard Fly Fishing Expeditions we are always looking for the absolute best leaders for our teen backpacking and fly fishing adventures. Leading backpacking and fly fishing trips for teens is a fun, exciting, and most importantly a rewarding summer job, but it is hard work and takes a wide variety of skill sets. When considering candidates for co-leader and trip director positions we look at much deeper than their ability to help put students on fish.
At a minimum, qualified applicants will have experience teaching fly fishing, enjoy working with teens, and are knowledgeable about backcountry safety. All applicants for co-leader positions must be 20 years of age before June, 1st and have successfully passed a wilderness first responder course. We travel in 15 passenger vans and tow an enclosed trailer. All trip leaders and directors must have a clean driving record.
Preference is given to applicants who are available from the beginning of June through mid-August, but we do occasionally need leaders for short term (one or two trips) contracts. Our limited number of trips each summer allows us the opportunity to be very selective with our small summer staff. Qualified applicants will set themselves apart with their ability to serve as role models to our teenage participants. Leadership experience, a hard work ethic, and the ability to work in a dynamic environment with ever-changing variables are a must.
Great trip leaders are one of the most important ingredients to the success of our trips, and guides will be one of the participant's most memorable parts of their experience. If you are interested in working for LFFE this summer, please fill out an application here.
