INSTRUCTOR

Given that all staff stay onsite at the Evans Lake Forest Education Center while programs are in session, the action never stops, and applicants should enjoy working in a dynamic work environment. Strong organizational and interpersonal skills are a must, as well as a yearning for an endless summer!
