Summer field instructor
Our trips have a maximum group size of 20–24 students with 5–6 instructors. However, groups may be smaller than that (though we will always maintain a 4:1 ratio or better of student to instructor). For international trips, group size is generally 2 instructors, 1–2 in-country guides, and a maximum of 12 students. The outdoor skills that instructors teach include backpacking, rock climbing, mountaineering, mountain biking, canoeing, cooking, orienteering, Leave No Trace concepts, and general environmental education. Other specialized skills like whitewater rafting and kayaking will be taught in conjunction with outfitters.
On each program, the instructor team works closely together to coordinate all aspects of the trip, including instruction in all outdoor activities, risk management, driving 15-passenger vans and towing U-Haul trailers (North America trips only), managing group dynamics, planning menus, purchasing food, laundry, coordinating with outfitters, turning in blog and photo updates, maintaining equipment, and handling medical issues. Instructors receive additional ongoing support from the director team.
