Two degrees of separation is all it is from someone that has or will work at the Boyle! A typical day in the life of a Boyle instructor may go as following. Wake up in one of our staff accommodations not 5 star but has all you need, kitchen, laundry, lounge, fire, and a great team to yarn and have fun with. Once you have downed your coffee and morning grub you roll into the morning staff briefing at 8.40am bright eyed and bushy tailed. Ready to facilitate one of our many varied programmes.

From hard top centre based programmes with adaptive groups to, adventure camps and expeditions. Your programme days are guaranteed to be challenging and varied. Lunch maybe on the go or had back at the lodge depending on the programme ready for the afternoon of activities. With two high ropes courses, a magnitude of low ropes and initiatives, 2 abseils, a rock climbing crag, a canyon, tubing, swimming holes, rivers… the list goes on, you are sure to be engaged and have fun.
Typically you will wrap up with the group back at the lodge at 5pm where you can return to the staff house to chill, share stories and rest for the night.
