Job Description: Position Summary The Green Mountain Audubon Center in Huntington seeks enthusiastic teachers, environmental educators, and naturalists to lead our nature day camps. The 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 the Seasonal Educator position will be split into two positions a Lead Seasonal Educator and a Seasonal Educator. The Seasonal Educator position will be responsible for assisting the Lead Educators in facilitating games, activities, and lessons as well as group management. This position is excellent for someone who is interested in learning how camp works and getting practice working with children outdoors. This is an excellent next step for those who are new to the summer camp world or have been Counselors-in-Training. By the end of the summer, Seasonal Educators will have planned and lead a camp week of their own. Seasonal Educators will be responsible for teaching outdoors all summer, learning and developing camp activities. They will be responsible for communicating and working effectively with the entire camp team, which includes other seasonal educators and lead educators, an education intern, Audubon's year-round staff, high-school Counselors-in-Training. Seasonal Educators will help mentor Counselors-in-Training. As we continue to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic, we still expect to implement practices to keep campers and staff safe, healthy, and well. Staff will be trained in practices that support camp-wide health. Staff will work at both our Preschool Nature Camp (PNC) and Ecology Day Camp (EDC) and should feel comfortable with both age groups. Throughout the summer, educators will share the role of coordinating the weekly and daily logistics for campers at either PNC or EDC. Audubon will challenge you to enhance your leadership, teaching, and mentoring skills while encouraging you to share the wonder of exploring the most magical places at the Green Mountain Audubon Center. 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. Camp Schedule
