Pack Out Trip Manager- POSITION FILLED

The Living Earth School encourages nature connection through survival skills, wild games as well as quiet time in the woods, multi-day expeditions, Counselors-in-Training programs and more. We run Day Camps all summer and this year we are expanding our canoe and backpacking offerings!

Our part-time Pack Out Trip Manager will work only 3-4 days/week under the Expedition Coordinator and Trip Leaders to help ensure a smooth trip. They are in charge of organizing trip food, group gear, rentals and driving shuttle cars. These tasks will be closely supervised at first through hands-on training, and the Intern will be given more and more responsibility as the summer progresses, according to their experience. This position is based at our day camp location, and the Intern can participate in Day Camp activities (like swim time!) while balancing their pack-out duties. The Intern is expected to be available to assist with First and Last Day duties of each expedition which will include Sundays and Fridays. Work hours are part-time and more flexible than other camp staff positions.
