Nature Program Instructor

The Nature Program Instructor is responsible for designing and implementing nature-based programming that meets the needs, interests, and abilities of each camp session’s population. A key part of this role is creating written activity plans and working closely with cabin staff to adapt activities so that every camper can fully participate and enjoy the experience. Sample activities may include bug hunts, rock paintings, leaf art, nature hikes, and many more. 

In addition to facilitating nature-based programming, the Nature Program Instructor assists with evening programs as assigned by the Evening Program Instructor, typically runs a Challenge Day station (popcorn making over the fire), and contributes to the overall camp community. This position lives in the cabins for the duration of the summer and assists with camper personal care (i.e. toileting, showering, dressing, eating, etc.), activities of daily living, and medical procedures (i.e. g-tubes, maces, montis). When not planning, setting up, or leading activities, the Nature Program Instructor will engage with campers in their assigned cabin group to ensure a positive and supportive experience.
