Staff Naturalist

The Staff Naturalist is a field-based educator responsible for facilitation of school programs and camps, adult education and some limited support of early childhood programs and outreach. This role delivers high-quality, place-based learning experiences across multiple audiences and works closely with the Education Manager and education team to ensure consistent program delivery. The Staff Naturalist collaborates across departments to support program alignment, and coordinates with the Deputy Director on adult education and outreach initiatives. While primarily focused on instruction, this role contributes to ongoing program refinement through field-based feedback and implementation experience. This is a site-based role and requires occasional evening and weekend work

Teen Internship Program

Love being outside and curious about working with kids? Our Teen Internship is a hands-on summer experience for teens ages 14–17 who want to learn, lead, and grow in nature. Interns support hikes and activities, work as part of a collaborative camp team, and build confidence in communication, teamwork, and leadership while forming a deeper connection to the natural world.
