Join our Instructional Team!

Our Instructional Team
Learning Outside is committed to providing children with quality outdoor learning experiences led by seasoned, knowledgeable, child-centered instructors who align with our mission, vision and teaching approach. 

Learning Outside’s programs are led by a small team of dedicated, experienced educators, naturalists, and/or primitive skills specialists, committed to helping children develop a love of nature and confidence in self-expression and inquiry-based learning. In addition, instructors plan for, guide and support children in developing self-awareness, group awareness, clear communication, team work, focused attention and inquiry. 

None of Learning Outside's instructor positions are full-time. Instructors work with our programs as independent contractors; some may co-lead multiple programs year-round while others may work with us in just one school-year program/week or for one summer camp each summer. 

Each instructor is mentored around our unique approach to outdoor learning to assure continuity of experience for all of the children served through our programs. 

Current Openings
We currently have an opening for an Assistant Instructor in our summer camps. This position runs all of the weeks between June 3rd - August 30th apart the week of July 1 - July 5. 

Learning Outside's goal is that the person hired will move onto to working in our school-year programs.

School-year instructor openings are still being finalized but we do anticipate adding at least one new instructor to our team.
