SUMMARY

The Mountain Discovery Camp Field Instructor will work with a team to engage local youth in five day outdoor environmental education programs at Bogus Basin. Each day will start with a specific content focus designed to engage youth in hands-on, place-based activities. Content topics will range from alpine ecology to safe and responsible outdoor recreation. The goal of this program is to foster a sense of ownership in our public lands and an appreciation for nature big and small. We hope to foster the next generation of ecologists, land managers, environmental stewards and more who will champion for access and preservation of our public lands and the world around them.

Duration: May 22nd- 26th, 9am-4pm (Training Week); May 30th - August 11th, M-F 8:45am-4:15pm (Camp). Transportation to and from the mountain is provided.
