The Farm Manager is responsible for general operation of the Model Farm. This involves supervising farm staff and nutritionists, working with Camp Directors to schedule classes and evening programs, and ensuring the safety and enjoyment of the children. The manager must be at least 21 years of age. The position requires an Associates or Bachelors degree in an agriculturally-related field or three years of experience working with livestock. The center uses the farm's produce as often as possible in their classes.
Nutritionists participate in caring for the animals and maintaining the garden.
The positions require cooking experience and coursework involving nutrition. Although the prime medical person in camp, the camp nurse relates directly to the camp director and the doctors at the Mid-Hudson Medical Group in Fishkill. These doctors are approximately 10 minutes away by car and are on 24-hour call.
