Job Title: Facilities Assistant
Reports to: Facilities Manager
Classification: Non-exempt, part-time
Who we are
With nature as our catalyst, Camp Fire Minnesota energizes youth to discover their spark so their futures glow brighter.
Youth spend 90% of their time indoors – and that was before COVID-19. Camp Fire Minnesota addresses this challenge by delivering culturally relevant, nature-based programs at Tanadoona, Camp Bluewater, and throughout the community to 6,500 youth from all backgrounds each year. We help youth “light their spark within” through summer and school break camps, environmental education & STEM classes for schools (in-person and virtual), and community-based out-of-school time nature programs.
We are proud to offer inclusive and welcoming programs to youth in the community, including free and reduced rate programs and a scholarship program. As a result of their Camp Fire experience, 93% of youth report valuing nature and stewarding the environment.
Tanadoona is a 103-acre property featuring restored wetlands, prairie, a half-acre pollinator garden, Big Woods forest, 2,000 feet of shoreline on Lake Minnewashta, and more. Located just 30 minutes from Minneapolis, Tanadoona is an outdoor escape that’s just down the road – perfect for hands-on learning outdoors, as well as rental events like weddings, corporate meetings, and other special event rentals.
Where we are headed
Camp Fire Minnesota envisions a future where every youth has access to nature-based experiences and learning. In order to bring this vision to life, we set out a new Strategic Plan in 2020. Recognizing the inequity in our field (both in the past and today), this new strategic plan aims to further diversify what spending time in and protecting natures looks like – for every young person. We are leveraging Tanadoona in new ways with the addition of a brand-new Community & Dining Center. And guided by input from youth and schools across communities, our programs and curriculum will further evolve to embrace the many ways people engage with and benefit from nature.
