Now seeking energetic and excited individuals who are passionate about working in a beautiful outdoor setting with kids 4-13 years. With staff support, Mentors will work with children providing environmental education experiences, adventure, and camp activities that are age-appropriate and fit the theme of the week.
WildWise is the premier EduLARP school in the country, using creative outdoor education along with coyote mentoring, WildWise summer camps are rooted in epic quests, authentic traditional skills and wilderness awareness. Summer Camps are a great way to meet our organization, and for us to get to know you!
