Nature Based Summer Camp Staff
ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
Do you love being in the outdoors? Having fun? Learning new things? At CFW our Camp emphasizes hands-on, experiential, frequently field-based education. Campers learn in a variety of settings, including classrooms both inside and out, but also behind the eyepieces of binoculars and microscopes, knee-deep in a cold stream, running behind a butterfly net, and on hands and knees with eyes peeled on the ground. We are seeking enthusiastic, fun-filled individuals with a focus on providing a fun, nurturing and educational environment to help support and grow our future naturalists and wildlife experts!
CFW Summer Camp runs Mon-Thurs starting Monday July 7th running through until the end of August. Applicants are asked to be available for the duration of this time.
Our day to day at camp is filled with a variety of amazing activities, from meeting our Ambassadorial animals to being in the woods building fairy houses and learning about the local flora and fauna. We encourage people with a love for the outdoors and fun to apply.
