Camp Emerald Bay is looking for qualified volunteers to spend a month or
more on Catalina Island this summer or fall, helping us as we develop an
environmental education program for the thousands of young adults we
host every year. Work will include outdoor work in our garden and
compost facility, which has 7 planter beds, native plant landscaping,
and large compost bins. Other work can be individually tailored to meet
the volunteer's learning objectives.
Emerald Bay is a camp located on the west end of the island, off the
California coast. A far cry from the bustling tourist destination of
Avalon, the West End offers camp staff unparalleled opportunities for
hiking, trail running, swimming, snorkeling, mountain biking, kayaking,
camping, and many more activities. A “run into town” requires some
planning, as the nearest town of Two Harbors is a 30-minute drive down
dirt roads; but the island’s spectacular beauty and atmosphere more than
make up for any lack of modern conveniences.
Please contact Ryan Shepherd at [email protected] to request an
application. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis, with
priority given to early applicants. Acceptance is usually announced two
months prior to start date.
