The Annapolis Maritime Museum and Park located on the banks of the beautiful Severn River is seeking 1-2 college interns to complete our summer camp staff. Interns interested in education, environmental studies, ecology, or recreation are encouraged to apply.
Our mission at the AMM is to educate people of all ages about the area’s rich maritime heritage and the ecology of the Chesapeake Bay through programs, exhibits and community events. Through our summer camp program, we are able to reach over 250 youth and help inspire the next generation of environmental stewards. Join us as we work alongside campers to develop a deeper connection with the natural world and maritime culture by exploring our 12-acre wooded park campus, a secluded cove, nature trails, marsh habitat, and more! Traditional fun camp activities are also included!
