Why Work Here?

By working at COEC, you become part of a mission to reconnect people with the natural world, helping them develop skills, confidence, and a sense of belonging that can only come from hands-on, outdoor learning. Being part of the COEC team - whether by working as a cook in one of our kitchens preparing delicious meals, as a camp counselor leading trips in the mountains, as a facilitator leading corporate groups on ropes elements, or on our maintenance team renovating and maintaining our facilities - is a chance to make a difference by facilitating the meaningful experiences that counterbalance the screen-heavy lifestyles so common today.

Working here means not only fostering growth in others, but also reaping the personal rewards of spending time in Colorado’s breathtaking natural beauty, engaging in fulfilling work, and joining a passionate, like-minded community. At COEC, you’ll find a workplace that values connection, purpose, and the transformative power of nature.
