Running from late June through early-August, these programs provide experiences which further IslandWood's mission of inspiring lifelong learning and environmental and community stewardship.
Volunteer Opportunity Summary

Volunteers in Outdoor Leadership (VOLs) assist our staff in delivering educational programming for children in our day camp programs on our Bainbridge Island Campus. VOLs partner with a field group of campers for the week, serving as an extra set of hands and modeling excitement for campers. Duties can include logistical support around art projects, teaching short lessons, leading games, and overall working directly with campers and our staff to better learn about the world of environmental education. VOLs are meant to be support and are not responsible for delivering programming on their own, nor do they oversee the safety of campers.
