Outdoor Education Jobs

Looking for a teaching job? Have you always wanted to work outdoors? Looking to work in God's creation with fellow believers? Need a job that includes room and board? Our staff come from all over the country to live onsite and work with kids in the outdoors! The Thousand Pines Outdoor Science School program hosts 5th and 6th grade students from schools in Southern California. We are in operation Monday-Friday each week from September to June. The goal of our program is to help students learn, grow, and experience the outdoors and we do that by giving students opportunities for hands-on learning in an outdoor setting. We lead hikes, teach science lessons, and help students develop their self-confidence through a variety of personal challenges including archery, team building, a climbing wall, night hikes, and other outdoor activities. Staff members have a lot of fun leading things like dance night, campfire stories, skits, songs, and games. When students leave the city and technology in order to come to the mountains for a few days, it can really be an incredible experience!
