This internship option offers an exciting opportunity to participate in a growing integrated nature-based setting that brings together farm animals, gardening, environmental science and education for the 32 students attending Green Chimneys School - Clearpool Campus. Internship runs from January 7th to September 6th. Room and board provide, as well as a stipend.
The campus is located on 350 acres of pristine woodlands, part of which is designated as a New York State Model Forest, and includes a small farm animal area and an organic garden. This internship offers an integration of animal care and gardening with immersion in an innovative outdoor education environment. Interns support certified teachers, therapists and outdoor education staff in environmental, horticultural and animal care activities for the children. It is ideal for an enthusiastic, flexible and adaptable generalist who believes that all contact with nature can be beneficial.
