1. What is a Cabin Leader?
A Cabin Leader is someone who volunteers their time to supervise students for 4 to 5 day trips to Blue Sky Meadow. Cabin Leaders have two main roles. Their primary role is to supervise students during cabin time, when students prepare for activities, do homework, clean and sleep. Their other role is to assist BSM naturalists during trail times, meals and evening programs.

6. Will I be able to communicate with the outside world?
While cellular phones occasionally work at BSM, don't count on it. If you do get service, your phone may only be used during your off-time and out of view of the students. BSM's land line is available for emergency use only.
