Job description

Outdoor Logistics Coordinator

Eagle’s Nest Camp, Pisgah Forest, North Carolina

Seasonal

Do you value kindness, inclusion, nature, and community? Are you looking to build your resume while also building character and meaningful relationships? Come play, learn, teach, and create memories in Pisgah Forest as a counselor at Eagle’s Nest Camp. We are looking for hard-working, FUN folks to create magic, be role models, and explore the outdoors with our campers. Eagle’s Nest Camp is a place where campers and counselors grow in confidence, independence, and become the best versions of themselves. If you’re up for the challenge, the rewards are plenty. Hear from a few of our former staff about why they chose to work at The Nest.

Who We Are:

Eagle’s Nest Camp is non-profit, overnight camp located on 200 acres of wooded land in the lush mountains of Western North Carolina, just southwest of Asheville and down the road from Pisgah National Forest and Dupont State Forest. Since 1927, we’ve provided a joyful, inclusive community where campers ages 6 to 18 are treated with respect, compassion, and care. Campers have the opportunity to participate in 1 to 3-week long sessions that emphasize community living while choosing to take classes in visual and performing arts, athletics, appreciation of nature, outdoor adventure, horseback riding, and more. Our population is diverse and smaller in size than most camps, which allows our campers and staff to feel seen, heard, and valued no matter how long they attend camp!

Responsibilities:

The Outdoor Logistics Coordinator will work with outdoor activity heads, the Kitchen Manager, and other outdoor leadership to ensure that groups going out of camp have the food, gear, and resources they need. The Outdoor Logistics Coordinator will also be responsible for making sure the packout facility is kept stocked and clean (to NC health code standards), and the gear is in good repair. This person must enjoy being a mentor and resource for outdoor staff, and living and working in the outdoors.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and one full day off each week, plus nights off and lunches out.
• On-campus housing.
• Delicious, home-cooked meals (including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options*), professional discounts on outdoor gear and equipment, staff lounge with wifi, and access to laundry facilities provided.

*While we provide gluten-free options, we are not a gluten-free certified kitchen. Our kitchen handles wheat and gluten products.

Dates:

Position is from mid-to-late May to August 9th, 2027

Required Qualifications:

• Minimum 21-years-old.
• Experience with wilderness travel, basic gear repair knowledge, and excellent organizational skills.
• Ability to work independently.
• CPR and First Aid Certification, WFA or WFR preferred.
• Clean driving record.
