Are you inspired by towering trees, early-morning paddles, discovering networks of underground fungi, and sparking people’s curiosity in the outdoors? Love finding and then amplifying the best in people? The Outdoor Education Manager is a vibrant person who primarily leads the school & community groups’ on-site program team and keeps Evans Lake’s spirit of fun and curiosity at the forefront. Energetic and committed to providing amazing and educational outdoor experiences, the Outdoor Education Manager works as part of a team of two and supports the Director of Operations and Education in the safe and effective operation of camp programs. They help us accomplish our goal to be both Your Home in the Forest and The Ultimate Camp Experience by focusing on providing critical support for the program staff team.

Through a mix of program development, program implementation, and team leadership, the Outdoor Education Manager assists with the overall planning, roll-out, and management of our programs—acting as the lead for the school & community groups (and other non-Summer Camp user groups), and as the assistant for our Summer Camp programs (Overnight Camp, Day Camp, Family Weekends). Applicants must exude initiative and have a can-do attitude, as everyone pitches in. Exceptional organizational and interpersonal skills are a must, as well as a love and excitement for forest education. Be ready to dive into a dynamic work environment and grow as tall as the trees.
