About Klimbos Harderwijk

Klimbos Harderwijk is a versatile venue featuring challenging courses, a Free Fall, a duo zipline, and—as of this year—a climbing tower and mini-golf. We welcome individual guests, schools, and companies every day.

Next to the climbing forest is Fort Vertier, an interactive 3D maze for children up to age 13. This makes Klimbos Harderwijk an especially varied place to do an internship.

What are you going to do?

During your internship, you’ll be fully integrated into the team on-site. You’ll assist with guiding guests, provide instructions on how to use the climbing harness, and explain the safety rules for the various activities. You’ll guide guests while they climb, answer questions, and ensure a safe and enjoyable atmosphere.

You may also be assigned to Fort Vertier, where you’ll assist children in the interactive maze. This will help you learn how to work with different groups and activities. To see if this internship is a good fit for you, we’d like to invite you to a shadowing day.

You'll learn everything about inspecting and keeping rides and attractions safe
You'll learn to provide a warm and welcoming service while staying focused on safety
