Volunteers are a core component of our summer camp team. They work closely with Counsellors to deliver inspiring outdoor day camps for kids. This is a great fit for anyone interested in developing deeper nature mentoring skills and supporting Pine’s work, but can only commit to one or more weeks in July and August!

Willingness to deepen naturalist knowledge, experience working with children and working in the outdoors are key elements of the role. Volunteers embody respect, gratitude, awareness, life-long learning, and resilience, in alignment with our core values.
