The Program Supervisors supervise and support the seasonal instructors and camp counselors. They facilitate training, help with hiring, and make sure the day-to-day operations run smoothly.
They connect with group leaders, teachers, and program partners to outline the program schedule for all Outdoor School and Summer Camp. They collaborate with the whole team to deliver quality programs to our guests and assume the role as site supervisor when the manager is off-site.
This position is a new title for us, as we have done some restructuring due to COVID.
Program Supervisors work all three of our programming seasons. They start in February and end in early November.
Housing (and Food!)
Housing (and Food!)
Housing is provided for the duration of employment. Food is also provided when groups are onsite and we're serving food to our guests. Visit the Camp Gray or the Hancock Field Station pages for more details.
Certifications
Certifications
Program Supervisors, Managers, and Instructors all need a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification and a Class B Commercial Driver License (CDL). Since we require them for the health and safety of our participants, we offer opportunities to acquire them, as well as room and board during them. Some associated CDL/DMV fees are reimbursed.
Also, we need:
Emergency Glucagon - (No cost) This in case of diabetic emergencies. This takes a couple of hours and is provided by a nurse and we squeeze it in somewhere during Spring Training.
Oregon Food Handler Card - ($10) Everyone gets to obtain one of these online. It's a requirement in Oregon to work around food, and only takes 30 minutes or so.
Wilderness First Responder (WFR)
Hancock Field Station hosts the coveted WFR course taught by NOLS Wilderness Medicine. OMSI teammates receive a steep discount, at the at-cost price of $645. Lodging and hot meals are included!
This 10-day, 80-hour course covers first aid skills in emergency situations that occur more than an hour away from advanced medical care.
Certification is valid for two years.
Class B Commercial Driver License (CDL)
During the summer, we rent buses and use them to charter our students from Portland to the Summer Science Camp program locations.
There are multiple steps to completing the CDL license and each has an associated fee. Total approximate cost is $500, which is reimbursable upon successful completion of the process.
