Outdoor Environmental Educator

Catalina Environntal Leadership Program (CELP) is an environmental education program for students in 4th-12th grade. Our location on the remote west end of Catalina Island allows us to teach lessons on ecology while snorkeling in the kelp forest, kayaking, hiking, teambuilding and gardening. CELP is a partnership between Catalina Island Camps and Jean Michel Cousteau’s Ocean Future’s Society. 

We are looking for qualified staff to lead groups of 10-15 students on week-long environmental education programs. CELP activities include day & night snorkeling, kayaking, hiking, ropes course, microscope lab, gardening, composting, campfires, astronomy, art in nature, tide-pooling and Tongva lifeways lessons. Responsibilities include lesson planning, preparing program areas, leading day & evening activities and attending staff meetings. CELP instructors live and work on site at camp for the duration of the season. 

CELP instructors must have a Bachelor’s degree in a Natural or Environmental Science or related field or significant experience in education and camps. Instructors must possess strong water skills, a commitment to environmental stewardship, and the ability to work with staff and students of all ages. Spring 2026 Season February 6 – May 23, 2026.
