Are you a high school student who wants to explore outdoors, play games, and create art with campers this summer? Do you want to build skills, gain experience, and have fun while volunteering? If so, we hope you’ll apply to be an Environmental Education Assistant (EEA) with Maine Audubon’s summer day camps for children ages 3-9 at Gilsland Farm in Falmouth and children ages 6-11 at Fields Pond in Holden.
