Camp Emerald Bay is looking for a qualified volunteer to spend a
summer on Catalina Island, helping us as we develop an environmental
program for the thousands of young adults we host every year. The
volunteer's primary responsibility will be to maintain and develop
our garden and compost facility, which has 350 square feet of planter
beds. Additional work will include teaching an environmentally themed
class each week. Other work can be tailored to meet the individual's
learning objectives.
Emerald Bay is a camp located on the West End of the island, off the
California coast. A far cry from the bustling tourist destination of
Avalon, the West End offers camp staff unparalleled opportunities for
hiking, trail running, swimming, snorkeling, mountain biking,
kayaking, camping, and many more activities. A 'run into town'
requires some planning, as the nearest town of Two Harbors is a 30
minute drive down dirt roads, but the island's spectacular beauty and
atmosphere more than make up for any lack of modern conveniences.
Please contact Ashley Prososki at [email protected] to request an
application and to learn more about the position. We are currently
looking for volunteers who can stay a month or more between June 1
and August 31, 2012. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis,
with priority given to early applicants. Acceptance is usually
announced two months prior to start date.
