Coordinator / Seasonal Leader

Interested? Apply here

It takes a village. Can you lead it?

Green River Preserve is a tight-knit community with a small year-round administrative team. We are looking for three Coordinators to work closely with the year-round team to provide higher-level programmatic support on a seasonal basis. Growing your skills in camping & adventure with a solid seasonal resumé so far? Feel like you’re ready to take the next step from cabin staff or trip leader and have a deep love of camp? One of these roles might be a great fit!

Candidates for these positions must be able to work the full Summer Camp season with additional training in late spring and opportunities are available in Fall & Spring SEE programs for a mid-April through mid-October maximum.

Adventure

Expeditions Coordinator

There and back again! You’ve worked with youth ages 12-17 in a backcountry setting; you’re an avid climber, paddler, or backpacker; and you know a thing or two about co-leader dynamics.

The Expeditions Coordinator works as the right hand of the Adventure Director as a first-line field supporter and a guide of guides. Hop in to help with high-adventure days on the French Broad River or advanced climbing trips, assist with supply and vehicle logistics, and return to Base Camp to help build up older campers into budding Expeditioners!

This position is a great foundation of experience for someone hoping to one day pursue a full-time, year-round career in adventuring. Lead training, communicate with participants’ guardians, coach interns, and build administrative experience while having one foot out the door with field staff.

Green River Preserve will cover the cost of one relevant safety or recreation certification for the newly hired Expeditions Coordinator to acquire prior to the start of their season:

  • Lead Climbing
  • Swiftwater Rescue
  • Wilderness First Responder

Base Camp

Programs Coordinator

You know what it takes to pull off a great event: everyone in their place, expectations made clear, stage set, materials prepped, a dynamic host, and a solid cleanup plan. Summer camp is really just one big culmination of many small events that move our mission forward!

For the Programs Coordinator, it’s all about schedules, schedules, schedules! While we love some unstructured Free Time at GRP, schedules help us make the most of each day. In addition to camper activity schedules, the Programs Coordinator is also responsible for the day-to-day operations of afternoon camp activities. This role serves as a primary point person for Counselors, offering guidance and support in their daily duties and camper relations. As an American Camp Association accredited organization, we uphold ACA standards and best practices - these are monitored in activities by the Programs Coordinator, who conducts regular and frequent observations to provide staff feedback, identify areas of growth, and ensure campers are getting a high quality learning experience. This position requires someone who is equally adept at behind-the-desk administration as they are a well-spoken and engaging leader.

Green River Preserve will cover the cost of one relevant certification or continuing education course for the newly hired Special Programs & Activities Coordinator to acquire prior to the start of their season:

  • Youth Mental Health First Aid
  • ACA Leadership Courses
  • Others considered by request

Media Coordinator

You know what it takes to tell a great story: a perfect shot, a compelling caption, and delivering an authentic, unforgettable moment. Summer camp is really just one big culmination of many unforgettable memories that move our mission forward!

For the Media Coordinator, it’s all about the story, the light, and the delivery. While we value the disconnected time campers have at GRP, consistent communication and photos helps us share the magic with their families. In addition to capturing the camper experience through photography and video, the Media Coordinator is responsible for the day-to-day creation and publication of our daily parent blog and social media content. This position requires someone who is equally adept at behind-the-lens creation as they are a well-spoken and engaging communicator.
