Winter Jiu Jitsu/Martial Arts Counselor

About Montecito Sequoia Lodge & Summer Family Camp

Montecito Sequoia Lodge & Summer Family Camp is a year-round, all-inclusive family-friendly lodge, located inside the gates of beautiful Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks, in California.

Job Overview

We offer hospitality positions year-round, but also offer many seasonal jobs during our winter season, especially for snow sports & activities counselors. Counselors will lead multiple activities throughout the seasons, as needed.

Responsibilities

Lead activities such as Jiu Jitsu/Martial Arts. Jiu Jitsu/Martial Arts requires Red Cross/CPR certification.

Qualities We Look For in Potential Employees

Our employees become part of the Montecito Family, and often become friends with not only our staff, but with our guests. Many of our guests return year-after-year, and they and their children become very close to our staff. Therefore it is very important that staff members represent Montecito well, set a good example for our young guests, and behave professionally at all times. Many of our seasonal staff return year-after-year as well, because they enjoy the working environment and the friendships they share at Montecito.

We look for candidates who are:

• Outdoorsy, Friendly & Fun
• Enthusiastic & Flexible
• Team players
• Hard workers
• Responsible & Professional
• Honest & Authentic
• Focused on Customer Service
• Leading a healthy, drug-free lifestyle
• Clean, neat and wholesome appearance (we are a family camp).

Preferred Certifications

Red Cross First Aid/CPR Certified at a minimum, or Red Cross Lifeguard Certification, or WFR (Wilderness First Responder); as of 2018, a WFR certification with CPR is required by the National Park Service for any of our lead outdoor guides and "Leave No Trace" certified for all guides.

Benefits

Due to our remote location (about an 1 1/2 hr. drive time to Fresno, CA), most of our staff live on-site at Montecito. If you live onsite you will receive subsidized room and board (including satellite internet, satellite telephone access & laundry service during the summer season; it is important to note that there is no cell service in our remote location, but we offer free WiFi). The staff dines along with our guests, and shares the same buffet meals. Staff that live off-site have meal privileges during their shifts.

Staff housing varies based on job position. Most staff share shower/bathroom facilities with other staff.

Employee Discounts

Montecito staff receive discounts for purchases made onsite (eg. gift shop/retail items), and at our other locations.

Gratuities

The entire Montecito staff shares gratuities from our guests equally, which can be substantial during our summer family camp season.
