Outdoor Logistics Coordinator

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 the Outdoor Program Manager 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.

Dates: Position is from mid May to August 10th, 2026
