Spend your summer supporting small groups of campers as they play and explore in the mountains of Western North Carolina.

Summary

Nature Camp @ The Learning Community offers outdoor and place-based play and learning for rising Kindergarten through rising 5th grade children. We are based on The Learning Community School campus in the Bee Tree community of Swannanoa, NC which has access to trails, open woods, a creek, and ponds. Every week will include creek and woods play, as well as themed activities that change weekly. Some more complex projects will be primarily facilitated by topic experts but supported by counselors.

We are currently hiring counselors and assistant counselors. Pay for counselors ranges from $142.50-$166.50/day (equivalent to $19-$22.20/hour) depending on relevant education and training as well as years of experience teaching/working with groups of children.

The overall structure is group-based. Each counselor will have a group of children they work with for the entire week-long session with dedicated time for group check-ins and team-building. There will also be some opportunities for cross-group and cross-age play and collaboration.
