Current Team Openings:
Summer Camp Counselor AmeriCorps Service Member
Full-time (40hrs/week), Term (May 30, 2023 – August 4, 2023)
The Audubon Discovery Camp is a ten week-long summer day camp that runs from 8 am to 4 pm each day. Camp session themes differ each week and camps are held at Yankauer Preserve (between Martinsburg and Shepherdstown, WV) and Cool Spring Preserve (south of Charles Town, WV). Counselors supervise small groups of children (generally 8-10 children, ages 6-10; we also offer a few sessions for pre-teens and preschoolers) and lead them through hands-on nature exploration activities. The camp focuses on natural and cultural history as kids explore forests and fields, build forts, turn over rocks and logs, and play games. Counselors will lead hands-on activities, games and crafts as well as lead children on hikes, teach local natural history, promote sustainability, and help foster an appreciation for nature in children. Counselors develop their own program activities and daily itineraries. Training and all supplies and materials are provided. Required First Aid/CPR certification is provided.
