Outdoor Education Leaders should have an interest in education, outdoor learning, and worling with children of different ages ranging from kindergarten to middle school. Candidates should also be prepared for vigorous outdoor activity during all seasons of the Central Washington climate. The program is held 100% outside, with primitive facilities. This is true outdoor education immersion.

The primary responsibilities of the Outdoor Education Leaders will be to support the Environmental Education Director in facilitating outdoor learning experiences for children. The Outdoor Education Leaders will:

• Facilitate learning for a group of children that includes:
  • standards-aligned outdoor activities
  • educational and recreational games
  • field investigations
• Assist in the oversight of the safety of students during activities
• assist in collection of program assessment and evaluation data
• be able to work outdoors, in all conditions, in vigorous and athletic situations
• possess boating, fishing, hiking, and other outdoor skills
• Be able to confidently share experiential learning opportunities (including but not limited to identifying local flora and fauna, climate, habitat, and other natural interpretive opportunities encountered at Helen McCabe Park)
