Bradford Woods is looking for students pursuing degrees in Environmental Science or related fields, as well as those interested in working with children with disabilities in a therapeutic camp setting.  

Bradford Woods has been providing therapeutic summer camps for 70 years, and we take pride in offering specialized programs for children with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and other special needs. We partner with organizations such as Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis to host adapted camp sessions tailored to the unique needs of each camper.

Our summer camp program features a wide range of activities, including nature programs, creative arts, high and low ropes courses, adaptive zipline, swimming, music, canoeing, fishing, pontoon boats, scuba diving, waterskiing, archery, and more. Staff work closely with campers to adapt activities, provide personal care, and implement individualized care plans.

Bradford Woods is deeply committed to inclusivity and accessibility, with all our facilities universally designed to meet the needs of each camper. For example, we offer an adaptive zipline that can accommodate for different wheelchairs, accessible hiking trails, a zero-entry pool, and other inclusive spaces, ensuring all campers can participate fully in the camp experience.

We are looking to hire a Nature Program Instructor for the Summer of 2026. The dates for this position would be from May 11^th to July 31^st, 2026. Below I have listed the Nature Program Instructor job description, along with a link to our other summer employment opportunities and the summer camp homepage. I would greatly appreciate it if you could share this information with your students. Additionally, I have attached a recruitment flyer to this email. If any students are interested in learning more or would like to apply, they are welcome to reach out to me directly. I can be reached by email at hbowns@iu.edu or by office phone at (765) 349-5118.

Nature Program Job Description:

The Nature Program Instructor is responsible for designing and implementing nature-based programming that meets the needs, interests, and abilities of each camp session’s population. A key part of this role is creating written activity plans and working closely with cabin staff to adapt activities so that every camper can fully participate and enjoy the experience. Sample activities may include bug hunts, rock paintings, leaf art, nature hikes, and many more.

In addition to facilitating nature-based programming, the Nature Program Instructor assists with evening programs as assigned by the Evening Program Instructor, typically runs a Challenge Day station (popcorn making over the fire), and contributes to the overall camp community. This position lives in the cabins for the duration of the summer and assists with camper personal care (i.e. toileting, showering, dressing, eating, etc.), activities of daily living, and medical procedures (i.e. g-tubes, maces, montis). When not planning, setting up, or leading activities, the Nature Program Instructor will engage with campers in their assigned cabin group to ensure a positive and supportive experience.
