We are hiring Instructors who can commit to our 2021 season from Jan 6th - October 29th. We are looking for people with a desire to teach and mentor youth who bring different lived and professional experiences to our team. At Camp Tamarack we host Outdoor School, Summer Camp, and classroom programs, providing youth of all ages with experiential opportunities that promote personal growth and a better understanding of the environment, communities, and world that surrounds them.
Due to COVID-19, we’ve been flexible and creative in adapting our programming in 2020. We hosted virtual Outdoor School, on-site day programming, and weekend backpacking trips. Though we can’t predict what this coming year will look like, we are anticipating our spring Outdoor School will not be on-site, but rather online or in the form of classroom visits, we are opening registration for on-site summer camp programming, and we expect to host residential programming for Fall Outdoor School.
We are accepting applications until positions are filled! Please send your resume and cover letter to Lauren “Otter” Rodgers: [email protected]

We Believe:
We recognize that our communities face many societal inequities. We recognize the history and ongoing impacts of racism in our country, state, and institutions. We acknowledge that we will always have room to grow as an organization and as individuals in our understanding of racism and oppression.
We commit to continue examining our role in both perpetuating and combating institutional racism. We also commit to the ongoing alignment of our policies and practices to advance racial equity, inclusion, and freedom of expression.
We commit to integrating equity and inclusion into all areas of our work to better serve our mission; when we do, we get closer to the world that we want for our youth. To ensure our own accountability, we will 1) seek deeper relationships with and feedback from our larger community; 2) use our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Policies to guide ongoing work; and 3) apply our equity lens to decision-making.
