Who we are

Nature’s Classroom New England is the largest outdoor education program in the northeast. We specialize in hands-on education with an emphasis on nature, outdoor living skills, science, and social-emotional learning. We provide meaningful programming for thousands of elementary and middle school students across New England and eastern New York each year! Each spring and fall we host students at our 6 beautiful sites. During their 1-5 day stay, students participate in an exciting variety of day and night time activities, all facilitated by Nature’s Classroom instructors. 

“I've had such a great time working for Nature's Classroom. Being able to share my love and knowledge of the outdoors with so many kids has been truly special to me. If you love being outside and want to share that experience with others this is the job for you!”

- Sam F., 5 seasons 

What we do

Instructors deliver residential, 1 to 5-day outdoor education programs to students in 4th to 8th grade. The hands-on lessons focus on building critical thinking skills and exploring the connections between the natural and human-made world. Some of our favorite activities include wilderness survival, wood carving, aquatic biology, and a science fair! Instructors also facilitate team building to develop students’ leadership and problem-solving skills. Instructors are responsible for leading groups of 12-14 students throughout the program, including facilitating day and evening lessons. We are committed to providing the highest quality educational experience to our schools and are looking for enthusiastic, dedicated educators to join our team!
