Join Our Team at Saddle Up Summer Bike Day Camp!

Do you remember the thrill of riding your bike as a kid? The freedom to explore, the wind in your face, and the excitement of the open road? Now, you can share that joy with the next generation! If you love biking, the outdoors, and working with kids, we have the perfect summer job for you.

Saddle Up Summer Bike Day Camp is looking for enthusiastic, energetic instructors to lead young riders on daily adventures filled with exploration, education, and fun.

 

About the Camp

At Saddle Up, campers experience traditional summer camp fun—including arts, sports, swimming, and even bowling—all reached by bicycle! We focus on bike safety, group riding, and skill-building through engaging activities. This is not a race or off-road biking camp; we ride in the community on designated streets and trails, covering several miles each day as we visit parks, pools, and local programs.

Who We're Looking For

We're seeking passionate, confident cyclists who:

•  Feel comfortable riding a bike in a group setting
•  Have an outgoing and enthusiastic personality
•  Enjoy leading kids and fostering a positive learning environment
•  Can effectively balance fun, safety, and education

Training Provided! New instructors will complete a Smart Cycling training course and a pre-camp training session before the start of camp.

Job Details

• Flexible Commitment: Work all or part of the summer, but a minimum commitment of two weeks is required (one full week at a time).
• Compensation: Competitive pay, plus the option to volunteer for those passionate about giving back to the community.
• Equipment: No bike? No problem! We provide bikes and gear if needed.

Why Join Us?

As a nonprofit organization committed to bike safety and education, we welcome campers from all backgrounds, offering scholarships to ensure that every child has the chance to participate. By joining our team, you'll make a meaningful impact while having a summer filled with adventure, fresh air, and two-wheeled fun!
