Coyle Outside is pursuing a passionate person who is excited to work with toddlers in the outdoors. This lead instructor will develop curriculum and consistency within the weekly camp program. This position provides the opportunity to work with toddlers (ages 3-5) as a guide and mentor using principles of free play and socio emotional development in a natural setting.
Must have experience raising and/or working with young children, and be comfortable and capable in the outdoors. Our camps serves ages 3-5. Work in this position is typically with 8-10 toddlers and one co instructor/assistant for outdoor exploration from 9am-1pm Mon-Fri.
There is a new group of kids each week and locations will be in public parks in Lake Oswego & West Linn. Camps are partnered with Lake Oswego & West Linn Parks and Rec and will require communication with local Parks staff and interacting with the general public in parks professionally.
Instructors have flexibility and autonomy in curriculum delivery and instructors with children may be able to have their child participate at no cost or as an older helper. We believe in providing opportunities for participants to explore the environment in all kinds of weather. Interacting freely and with limited interruption is a foundational value of our program. Background check and 3 strong references required.
Hourly wage is $16-23 DOE. We are seeking two instructors who would work as co-instructors or a lead & assistant.
