Outdoor Center Host

Mountain Air’s Natural Resources team is looking for a few good Outdoor Discovery Center (ODC) Hosts to help create remarkable, personalized nature experiences for the Mountain Air community through October 2022. Summer and part-time schedules will be considered on a case-by-case basis.  

The nature program is an amenity of Mountain Air Country Club. ODC hosts are well-organized nature team members with the primary task of keeping a small nature program and outdoor center running smoothly. An ODC Host is an enthusiastic environmental educator who brings great customer service to guests, and administrative efficiency to the nature program.

A part-time schedule may be considered, depending on the applicant pool.
