Majestic Adventures has provided experiential education programs for children and teenagers in the Bellingham and Seattle areas for over 15 years. Our goal is to engage learning through imagination and embodied play, where kids become the heroes as our Quest Leaders take them through grand adventures using LARP rules and principles to achieve designed educational outcomes. Whether they become a knight, wizard, or healer they must work together to solve mysteries and riddles, read treasure maps, interact with monsters and allies, and swashbuckle with our foam Swasher swords.
Quest Leaders are the gateway to all this enrichment.
Being a Quest Leader at Majestic Adventures offers the opportunity to work with children and/or teens in a creative and meaningful job. This is an outdoor work environment with a team of communicative and supportive coworkers. Quest Leaders focus on creating a fun roleplaying environment, while facilitating the experiential education goals of ethical reasoning, self-esteem, critical thinking, social skills, fitness, and teamwork. If you are interested in joining our team we encourage you to apply on our website: https://questnorthwest.com/jobs

HIRING PROCESS
APPLY BY MAY 4TH: If you are interested in becoming a Quest Leader for the upcoming summer, submit an application by May 4th. Apply with the link below. If you have any questions about the application, please contact us at jobs@majesticadventures.net
AUDITIONS Applicants who show the most potential in their Job Application are invited to participate in a group improvisational acting, storytelling, and roleplaying audition. Up to five applicants and members of the Hiring Team meet and do play-acting games together. You do not need to prepare anything for the audition. This is a requirement for being hired.
FINAL INTERVIEW: The applicants who showed the most potential in their applications and audition are invited to a final interview.
STAFF TRAINING: We will thoroughly train you to be able to lead a group of kids of your own. Training includes a combination of reading (to understand our game system and operating procedures), an in-person seminar, and "shadowing" experienced Quest Leaders with a group of kids. We recommend new Quest Leaders give themselves at least a week prior to in-person training to review training materials. During in-person training, you will be given an opportunity to "shadow" an experienced quest leader during a weeklong camp, either Spring Break in Bellingham (for those who apply early and cannot attend Summer training) or the first week of Summer in Seattle.
HIRED: All staff must have a social security number for being an employee, and all will have a background check done on them. We require all staff to be mandatory reporters of child abuse (if you suspect abuse in the home environment or elsewhere, you are required to report on it).
