Job description

21 Acres is on the hunt for inspired farm camp counselors for the 2019 summer camp season. Camp Counselors work under the Campus Education Lead to host Monday-Friday camps, working outside with children up to 8 hours a day. Summer camp season at 21 Acres lasts for 5 weeks, starting July 8 and ending August 9. Camp counselors must be available for a 5-day pre-camp training (dates TBD based on school schedules) in addition to 3-day, post-camp close-out August 12-14. We offer week-long day camps for ages 4-12 include playing in the soil, walking field trips to neighboring farms, special guests including John the Falconer and his raptors, and a Friday pizza party made in our wood- fired oven.

 

Counselors must be dedicated to sustainability and should have some experience with gardening, farming, and earth-based sciences. The ideal candidate will be an excellent multitasker with a genuine passion for working with and empowering young people. Applicants should be patient, fun-loving and confident in their ability to motivate and assist campers in learning new skills and exploring a growing environment.

 

At 21 Acres we are dedicated to building awareness that soil is a vital and often-overlooked piece of combating and adapting to climate change. Our team takes a holistic approach to land management. We experiment, test ancient and new techniques, and learn from the resourceful farming practices happening on local farms.
