The Delaware Otsego Audubon Society camp program (nature themed) runs 9:30am-3pm for two to three four-day camp weeks during the Summer at our Franklin Mtn. Sanctuary in Oneonta for children entering grades 1-6 in the fall. (Each week focuses on a different age group.) We have a general outline of activities for each day, but there is flexibility in this depending on what the Camp Directors might like to do.
In addition to each 4-day camp session, there is time required for activity planning and preparation, purchasing of supplies and materials and general camp admin work (paperwork and on-site setup).
We are seeking two (2) kind and enthusiastic educators to work together to run our summer camp day program.
