Want to share your love of animals while inspiring youth? Become a Critter Camp Counselor at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter!

We are seeking Volunteer Camp Counselors to lead youth, ages 6-13, through our organization’s day camp programs. Critter Camp is a vital program that teaches youth about animal care in fun and inventive ways.

The Counselors, under the direction of the Camp Host, are responsible for group and behavior management as well as guiding campers in humane education activities. The Counselors will co-supervise the campers while they interact with animals, listen to guest speakers and participate in educational games.

The Camp Host will provide resources and guest speakers so the curriculum has some structure, but still allows for creative activities based on the included topics. This is an excellent opportunity for people interested in child education or who have retired from a teaching position and have time to volunteer.

If you are interested in pursuing this as an internship for an organization, please provide requirements and contact information. We can provide you with letters of reference and hours served even if you are seeking an independent internship arrangement.

Thank you for your interest in this amazing opportunity!
