Camp Emerald Bay is looking for a qualified volunteer to spend several
months on Catalina Island, helping us as we develop an environmental
program for the thousands of young adults we host every year. The
volunteer's primarily responsibility will be to maintain and develop our
garden and compost facility, which has 350 sq. ft. of planter beds.
Other work can be tailored to meet the individual’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.

months prior to start date.
