Every summer, Nearby Nature runs a series of week-long outdoor daycamps in local parks. At each camp, an adult volunteer or an intern and a youth Outdoor Leader (13-18 years old) help our staff with games, outdoor science, crafts, music, and more.
Adult volunteer assistants commit to helping for at least one week-long camp per summer, three-four hours per day. Interns and Outdoor Leaders commit to four or more weeks. There will be a training for all daycamp assistants, Outdoor Leaders, and interns on Saturday, June 14th, from 10am-4 pm. Other training opportunities will also be available in Spring 2025. Teen volunteers should read about our Outdoor Leaders program and fill out an application here. Adult volunteers should fill out a Volunteer Questionnaire and potential interns will find application materials here.
