About Wildman Adventure Resort
Wildman Adventure Resort operates two locations offering 8 guided outdoor adventures, showcasing the most challenging whitewater and stunning scenery in the Midwest.
Our primary activities include half-day whitewater rafting and inflatable kayak trips on the Class III Peshtigo River and the exhilarating Class IV Menominee River. Beyond the rapids, we offer a variety of adventures such as high ropes courses, zip-lining, lake kayaking, rock climbing, paintball, and stand-up paddleboarding. Our facilities include a retail store, campground, cabins, glamping, bar, restaurant, and even a golf course, creating a well-rounded outdoor destination.
Wildman started as a business in 1989 from the vision of the original owner, Bill Wildman. What started as a small spot for enjoying a weekend outdoors has blossomed into the largest multi-sport outdoor resort in the Midwest! Still family-owned and operated, the Wildman Team is on a mission to introduce people to the power of outdoor recreation in a safe, equitable, and sustainable way. We know meaningful bonds form through shared experiences, especially those that require a small (or sometimes large) step outside our comfort zones!
Activities run from April through October, with our peak season spanning Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. If you love outdoor recreation and want to share that passion with others, Wildman Adventure Resort is the place to be.

The Employee Experience
Visualize yourself as a member of our high-energy, upbeat, and fun-loving team that shares your passion for the outdoors. At Wildman Adventure Resort, you'll live at no cost in rustic housing nestled among the towering pines of northern Wisconsin.
Every day brings the opportunity to work in a stunning natural environment, surrounded by mature forests and roaring rivers, as you help create impactful experiences for our guests. Whether it's guiding thrilling whitewater trips and leading guests through exciting outdoor activities, or helping a family plan their next epic reunion, you’ll find fulfillment in making memories that last a lifetime.
Our team stays super close as most live on-site out of their tents, vehicles, and hammocks for the summer. Family-style dinners at the outdoor kitchen, floats in tubes down the lazy river, exciting post-work staff river runs, and an impromptu jam sesh near the fire after a long day in the sun are all frequent occurrences during your time at Wildman.
If you thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented atmosphere and love working hard while embracing the great outdoors, Wildman Adventure Resort is the adventure you’ve been looking for.
No experience is required. We are excited to train the right people, just bring the stoke!

Ideal Candidate
The personality that fits: You are a hardworking individual who shares our passion for outdoor adventure and loves sharing that enthusiasm with others. The ideal candidate is upbeat, personable, and thrives in creating meaningful connections with both guests and co-workers. You should be comfortable engaging with strangers, whether it’s helping them with a question, guiding them through an adventure, or addressing a situation in a firm yet professional manner.
Flexibility is key—you adapt easily and are eager to learn new skills. Greeting guests warmly and making them feel welcome comes naturally to you, and you excel at providing information and entertainment that enhances their experience. Your ability to adjust your style to suit different groups ensures every guest has a unique and memorable adventure. You'll have a much different trip with a Girl Scout troop than a bachelor party!
We value team players who are self-motivated and capable of working independently. You can tackle a project with determination and see it through to completion. If you appreciate the beauty of nature, enjoy a simple lifestyle, and don’t mind a scenic 20-minute drive to the nearest grocery store in our rural community, you’ll feel right at home here.
Above all, we’re looking for someone who truly cares about the success of Wildman Adventure Resort and the guests we are fortunate enough to host. You’re invested in helping your team and the company succeed while ensuring every guest has the time of their life.
