Professional Outdoor Instructor

Our Professional Outdoor Instructors are a critical component of our educational programs. They spend countless hours preparing lesson plans and teaching resources to create an exceptional once-in-a-lifetime experience for each student. Their unique “classroom” include outdoor spaces that bring life to each lesson and include vernal ponds, wetlands, prairies, trails, and hillsides. Each instructor has their own unique academic experience and field-based training – many from around the world. Many have advanced degrees in education, leisure and recreation, environmental studies, conservation, sustainability, adventure, and more.

Professional Outdoor Instructor positions are available in the spring, summer, and fall. This is a 12-week seasonal position with room and board included. Our staff primarily teaches our environmental education curriculum, but will facilitate adventure education and teambuilding programs as well.
