Some other important pieces of information:

Salary: $230/week (based on a 5-day work week) + room/board in nice staff housing.  There are other great perks, including the opportunity to learn sea kayaking and use a kayak from our fleet to explore the islands with other staff.

Drug/alcohol/tobacco-free environment: We do not allow illegal drugs, alcohol-use, or tobacco-use on our property.  Because we work closely with children, we do a pre-employment drug test and random drug testing throughout the season to ensure that we are drug-free.

Requirements: Experience working in environmental education or BS/BA in environmental science, education, recreation, or related field preferred. First aid/CPR certification by first day of employment preferred. You must have some experience working with children. Being a team player, having a sense of humor and a strong work ethic are essential!
