SELAs work as members of a team to support participants and staff in Chewonki’s summer programs. SELAs work with staff and participants through the preparation of food and equipment, transportation to and from the field, facilitating resupplies, and post-trip cleanup. SELAs may also be assigned to other tasks as needed to support all of Chewonki’s summer programs. Responsibilities are always varied and exciting for SELAs. A day at work can consist of anything from driving a trip into the North Maine Woods to repairing broken tents and canoes or working alongside other staff and participants as they learn how to prepare for a trip.
