Job Openings
You have to be a little unusual/ ridiculous/ passionate to work at Schoolhouse. The hours are long, the weather keeps you on your toes, and the salary isn’t going to blow you away. But the privilege of introducing kids to nature, helping them discover how capable they are, and watching them grow in confidence every day is absolutely worth it. And the hugs don’t hurt either.
We’re looking for folks who love working with children, who value empathy, and who thrive being outdoors.
Lead Camp Counselor
Summer season
A Summer Lead Camp Counselor is an important member of our team that leads a camp group – up to 24 campers along with a few counselors. Lead Counselors manage the group’s timing, activities, behavior, and obviously fun! They also hide in the woods, splash in the creek, and sing the songs. This position does require previous experience working with kids, preferably in a similar program.
Camp Counselor
Summer Season
Want to spend your summer outside catching crayfish, teaching whittling, and working with kids? It’s not always easy, but it’s an incredible way to spend a summer. A Summer Camp Counselor helps create magical and impactful day camps for children ages 5-12 or teens 13-17. Experience working with kids or in camps is not required, but an interest in both of them is!
Junior Counselor
Summer season
Our Junior Counselor positions are for 16 and 17 year olds looking to improve their leadership skills while working in a camp group with 5-12 year old campers and adult staff. A Summer Junior Counselor helps create magical and impactful day camps while they play the games, model empathy and respect, fill the water bottles, and guide the campers. Experience working with kids or in camps is not required, but an interest in both of them is!
Volunteer & Internships
At Schoolhouse of Wonder, we love volunteers. In fact, we couldn’t survive with them. Do you want to help dirty, tired, happy kids become kind, curious, confident young people? We very well may have a way for you to do just that. Here’s a list depending on how much time you have to offer.
Are you looking for an internship that is definitely not the norm? Ready to get out of the classroom and into our outdoor version of one? Want to get college credit while spending time in the woods?
We offer internships for high school and college-aged students that will challenge you to grow both personally and professionally. Whether you are studying biology, early childhood education, or X, Y or Z — we can provide you with a real-life learning lab.
