I too questioned clicking on it, butt.......

Very cool. I just got passed over for a job on campus this summer so I've been spending the weekend looking for summer work. I've already got four or five ideas of places to apply to. Hopefully I can pick up one of the jobs.

Have you worked with any of the companies on there?

Those looked cool, but all the jobs say you need to be like 21 or older. I'll be 18 for summer and I'd like a job somewhere other than in my town as usaul. Any ideas, other than those ones seeing as I seem to be to young.....

I spent a few summers working at a Scout Ranch in Southern California. Pay wasn't very good(200/week for the lower staff and I got screwed because I didn't have the "correct" training for a high paid job), but it was always an amazing time. (sidenote:I actually got my first girlfriend through that camp). Lots of outdoor experience. I spent the summers teaching kids backpacking skills, first aid, orienteering, pioneering, taking them on hikes and bike rides, etc. The camp took care of my food and housing and I was able to spend several months in beautiful backcountry with tons of hiking trails. They are also willing to train you at their expense(I got Lifeguard, CPR, First Aid, and some other training there)

Chances are there are a few camps near you and they need help. If you are interested talk to the local Venturing Crew and they probably have info. If you have the knowledge they will often hire you.

I think Outdoor Bound hires 18 year olds or at least lets them intern. I have a few friends who have worked on those programs, loved every moment.
