Description
~ Wilderness Awareness School’s award-winning summer camps serve over 1900 youth each summer. ~
We provide a variety of opportunities for kids to explore the natural world and have fun adventures with friends. Nature, survival, and scout skills and games are all used as our medium for creative play and exploration. Camps are one week long and may be day camps or overnight camps depending on the age group of campers.
Position Overview
Lead instructors are responsible for collaborative facilitation of camps, and will work with a small group of instructors and a camp director to run the activities of camp. In addition, each instructor will lead a small group of campers in exploring the natural world utilizing Wilderness Awareness School’s model of mentoring. The goal of our instructors is to inspire campers and to facilitate the spark for deepening their connection with nature and each other. In addition, lead instructors support assistant instructors (volunteers) in learning more about working with youth in nature through role-modeling and one-on-one guidance.
