About the role

Outdoor Education & Retreats Specialist at YMCA of Southeast NC leads outdoor learning, adventure programming, and hands-on science for schools and retreat groups. Your office is the woods, and you guide 1st–12th grade participants through ropes, aquatics, and classic camp traditions with a focus on safety and joy. This seasonal role emphasizes teamwork, community impact, and personal growth while offering shared housing, meals when available, Wi‑Fi, and access to camp activities.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
