Camp Director—Josey Kirkland (she/her)

Our Camp Staff

Camp staff members are chosen for their enthusiasm, experience, nature knowledge, and ability to work with children outdoors. All staff undergo background checks, are certified in CPR, first aid, and/or lifeguarding, and receive training in health and safety procedures, child development, natural history, and environmental education best practices prior to the start of camp.

Mass Audubon requires that all staff, regardless of their work location, disclose their Covid-19 vaccination status. Proof of vaccination status is required immediately upon hire.
