Summer Staff: Penikese Science + Nature Camp
Interested in the 2026 season? Job portal will go live in December!
Each summer we seek 5 seasonal staff to operate our Science + Nature Camp for Girls.
Camp consists of five 1-week-long (Mon-Fri) residential sessions on the remote island of Penikese, located 13 miles off Cape Cod. Our goal is to empower middle-school girls and gender-expansive youth in the sciences by providing them with role models of women in STEM. Campers will explore the island, engage with guest scientists and artists through hands-on activities, play games, and have fun!
