Position Overview:

Are you looking for a summer filled with science, adventure, and FUN? Our Day Camp Program is seeking enthusiastic and responsible counselors to guide elementary aged campers on fun outdoor adventures. Each week of Day Camp has a science theme with planned field trips and activities that align! For example, campers will spend a morning searching for Tom's baby (you'll find out when you get here) while trying to avoid the gold bandits during a fun all camp game of Gold Rush during Geology week!  In addition to fun games and outdoor activities, you will be there to introduce and inspire young campers to build confidence, develop new skills, and embrace the outdoors while also teaching them environmental science lessons along the way. If you love working with kids, thrive in nature, and want to spend most of your work day outdoors, then this is the perfect summer job for you! Join our team and be a part of an adventure that you and your campers may never forget.
