Boojum Institute Field Staff

Instructors play the most vital role on a course; they establish group and individual goals, set a positive and supportive tone for a course and provide a window to a world that is new to most students. Instructors teach outdoor skills and natural history and model behavior for students and faculty. Most importantly, instructors are concerned for the physical and emotional well-being of students on courses and have the professional outdoor leadership credentials, experience, interpersonal skills and medical certifications that make programs successful and rewarding. Instructors are both teachers and risk managers, providing the best possible trip or program for participants. Click here if you are interested in employment as a Boojum Staff member.

Boojum instructors are among the most gifted and best-trained teachers in the outdoor education field. All of the staff are outdoor education professionals and have a passion for introducing young people and adults to natural places and new ways of looking at the world. The field staff members possess a blend of natural history instruction expertise, technical outdoor skills (paddling, rock climbing, backcountry travel, etc.), and the all-important interpersonal and group dynamics facilitation talents required to provide the best possible wilderness experience for educational groups.

"All of our interactions with the Boojum Institute have been extremely pleasant. Especially appreciated were the friendly answers to numerous questions from parents, students and the School staff, as well as the time Boojum took to collaborate with the faculty and parent chaperones to meet the curricular objectives of our science program."
