The Frost Valley YMCA Farm Camp is looking for a seasonal garden manager to work in our camp garden. While this is a production focused position, there is a large component of education, coordinating work projects for youth between 7-15, and role modeling to peers and kids the value of producing and eating locally.

 Please take a look at the attached job description and let me know if you have any questions!  

Best,

Andy Szymczak
