 Expedition Field Instructor

Work with youth in junior high and high school.

Field instructors will be responsible for the physical safety, emotional well-being, and spiritual encouragement of a group of students in an outdoor setting, either in a base camp or on a backcountry trip. The field instructor is the keystone of the youth program: although they will have support and help, they will be responsible for making sure that trips happen, students are safe, group dynamics are monitored, goals are met, schedules are enforced, and all the details fall in place.

simple housing, meals while in the field
