Beyond
Malibu sea kayaking and mountain guide staff positions are a two year
commitment to the front lines of our ministry. Guides are the primary
facilitator of the spiritual content of each week. Guides work in partnership
with group leaders to develop and implement spiritual experience of the trip.
They are trained in both ministry and technical skills in order to provide a
safe adventurous week-long wilderness experience designed specifically to meet
the wants and needs of each group. Because of the responsibilities of this
position, we are looking for people 21 years or older who are emotionally
mature, have well developed leadership skills, and at least two years of
ministry experience. No mountaineering or sea kayaking experience is
required but being comfortable in the wilderness setting is a plus. We
provide all of the technical training you will need. Being rooted strongly
in Christ is definitely a requirement. The work is hard but the joys of serving
others, building relationships, and seeing God move are well worth the sweat.
Live and work at our base camp in the Princess Louisa inlet, leading 3-5 trips each summer over two summers. Weeks in base camp will be spent working with a guide partner to plan intentional weeks designed to facilitate encounters with Christ in the wilderness. This includes dedicated time for Bible study and space to tailor the content for the needs of each group. Full participation in the base camp community at large is expected, including working and developing relationships with base camp staff, guide staff, and leadership. Expect to serve while helping with whatever is needed, both at Base Camp and on the mountain. You are expected to attend four training weekends from March through May in the Pacific Northwest and attend a subsidized advanced wilderness first aid course the first part of June your first year.
