Located at the base of Sauratown Mountain and just 30 minutes north of Winston-Salem, Camp Hanes offers 400 acres of forest, two lakes, multiple streams, a plethora of outdoor activities, and a short drive to two different state parks. From archery to hiking, water ecology to zip-lining, you are sure to learn new skills and make lifelong friends.
Outdoor Educators will get the opportunity to learn, improve, and teach science based curriculum while using the beautiful North Carolina environment as a tool for deeper level learning. Staff members will be facilitating learning with elementary and middle school age youth while also helping facilitate weekend groups with adults and families. We aim to make trips both fun and educational through evening activities, group games, and teambuilding activities. Educators will also assist with running meals, cleaning, and other maintenance as required. Instructors do not stay in the cabin with students but are responsible for helping host and oversee the group’s needs while at camp.
