Summary
The Lead Seasonal Educator will work with 3- to 5-year-old and 6- to 12-year-old children (and new this year, one week of 13 to 16-year-old campers!) as they explore the forests, brooks, meadows, and ponds on the Center’s 255 acres. Each week of camp focuses on a different theme and all campers get the chance to search for wildlife, make crafts, go on hikes, play games, and hone their nature awareness skills. New this year, our campers will be supported by both Lead Seasonal Educators and Seasonal Educators. This position is excellent for an experienced educator who is interested in taking on more responsibility as a leader and mentor at camp.
Lead Seasonal Educators will be responsible for teaching outdoors all summer, developing camp activities and curriculum, and working effectively as part of a dynamic camp team. The Lead Educator position will be responsible for helping to mentor the High School Counselors-in-Training and seasonal educators and solely responsible for creating lesson plans for at least 2 weeks of camp (we have resources to support lesson writing). They will be responsible for communicating and working effectively with the entire camp team, which includes: 3 Lead Seasonal Educators, 3 Seasonal Educators, an education intern, Audubon’s year-round staff, and high-school Counselors-in-Training.
Camp runs for 8 weeks, June 24 – August 16. There are six days of paid professional development and naturalist training prior to the start of camp from June 13th to June 21st (19th off for Juneteenth). This is a full-time, seasonal opportunity with an estimated 40-hour work week.
Educators must be over 18.
