Position Description

YMCA Camp Dudley Outdoor School (located in Naches, Washington, USA) is hiring naturalists for the spring season (March 30 - June 10). $160 per day (Monday-Friday) plus room and board. As an outdoor school, we serve fifth and sixth grade students from Yakima and surrounding areas--predominantly Title 1 schools--for school day, extended day, and overnight outdoor education programs.

We provide a mix of outdoor recreation activities (hiking, canoeing, archery, low ropes, ziplining, rock climbing, gaga ball) and hands-on outdoor education stations (about trees, ecosystems, biodiversity, habitats, watersheds, environmental stewardship, cultural awareness, and more).
