Join us for learning and play in nature! Seeking part time school year staff and/or full time seasonal summer camp staff. Great staff team, beautiful campus, and cute goats! We have the honor and joy of connecting kids to nature every day. Come make some magic with us!

Summary

Join us in creative, play based learning in nature! Our campus includes a working farm, animals, a children's garden, kids kitchen, creative natural playspaces, a woodshop for kids, and hiking trails that weave throughout the State Park we are located in.

 

SUMMER (full time seasonal, 7 - 12 weeks): Common Ground Camp serves children ages 4 - 14. Camp staff work together to plan activities that range from cooking and fort building to stream stomping and nature arts. We are looking for staff who have big hearts, love kids, and want to spend their summer active and outside. Staff do not need to have expertise in all program areas, but everyone must be ready to work outside, be active, be highly responsible, and have fun with children for all the hours they are at camp. The detailed camp job posting is HERE!

 

SCHOOL YEAR (part time, ongoing): Seeking staff who believe in child centered learning and the value of play. Our programs connect a diverse group of urban and suburban children to nature, and we are seeking staff who have skills in cooking and gardening with kids, naturalist knowledge, primitive skills, beekeeping, wildcrafting, wood working, natural arts, sharing music with kids, and other related passions and skill sets. Significant prior experience working with children is required. The detailed school year job posting is HERE!
