Employment

Opportunities are available for seasonal employment during the fall and spring.  Staff members at HTOEC live and work on the 6000-acre property of the Colorado Outdoor Education Center.  Outdoor Education Instructors are involved in a wide variety of work, from teaching about local geology to orchestrating the setup and cleanup of meals.  Staff members spend a majority of time outside, and lead programs and classes starting before breakfast and ending after post-dinner evening activities. Because of this, we encourage hardworking applicants with college degrees and positive references from former employers, teachers and associates.  Knowledge of and experience in the outdoors is helpful.  Applicants must have a willingness to be a contributing member of the educational community and the desire to be a positive influence in the life of a child.  Although the days are long, the setting is beautiful, the work is fun, and the rewards are great.
