THIS JOB IS HARD TO DESCRIBE. THAT'S A CLUE.
We hire Teachers, new or used, and Outdoor Leaders, to join our band of slightly exhausted but wildly passionate educators.
Our mission is to connect to an eclectic blend of human beings who venture into our 600-acre clumsy utopia, and to help them emerge as stronger and more resilient people.
That’s the job. The rest is largely gobbledygook.
We use outdoor adventure as one key tool. High school education is another. Increasingly, we are bringing families together into the mix.
What you’ll actually do:
Connect with people in a high-school setting that’s part classroom, part wilderness zone in the fall and winter; and 100% outdoors in the spring and summer
Be adventurous. Be resilient. Be open-hearted. Approachability is your secret weapon
This is not a cushy gig. It’s challenging. It demands kindness, selfless hustle and interpersonal artistry
Training? A lot!. We’ll invest in you big time. Dozens of training days per year, and certifications are covered. We shall strive, indeed, to truly have your back
This job evolves. Maybe it’s a seasonal contract; maybe it becomes long-term. Contracts typically start in either January, May or September. (PS: International folks must already have Canadian work-eligibility.)
Join us.
