Assistant Director – Outdoor Education

Join us for our 78th summer, providing unforgettable experiences in Maine’s Lakes Region. At Skylemar, we educate children that it is “Cool2Care.” From the minute they set foot on camp, children are taught to care about themselves, others, and the environment. We are eager to hire an environmental education professional who believes in spreading these values and can lead fun-filled activities.

Why work at Camp Skylemar?

• Join a mission-driven team
• Free tuition for children of staff members
• Introduce children from diverse backgrounds to nature
• Design your own environmental education curriculum
• Housing, food, laundry provided
• Family owned and operated business since 1948

Responsibilities:

The assistant director should feel comfortable instructing on-site environmental education and guiding trips throughout New England. At camp, campers participate in the “SkyPines” program, an overnight campout experience where meals are cooked over the fire, and campers sleep on the shores of Trickey Pond. Skylemar additionally offers hiking/camping trips across Maine, New Hampshire, and Canada. Hikes include the Presidential Range of White Mountains, Tumbledown Mountain, Pleasant Mountain, and more. 

We are eager to hire someone excited about immersing themselves in our community. Additional responsibilities will emerge beyond programming, and we expect an open-minded attitude. Whether serving meals in the lunch line or hosting a talent show, the assistant director should be excited about all aspects of Skylemar.
