JOB DESCRIPTION
This unique position is for an independent individual who loves to spend all-day on the water, visiting islands and parks, and teaching to and learning with a small group of students. Because of the nature of this class, our Land & Sea Instructors are charged with significant responsibility. Applicants should be adaptable and knowledgeable in general seamanship and have the skills to create and execute effective and fun lesson plans, maintain safe practices and above all, have a genuine passion for teaching kids. This isn't your typical instructor position and is perfect for an educator who wants a break from the classroom. Competitive hourly wage depends on level of experience and relevant certifications (see job requirements).
Job Accountabilities
• Independently responsible for the teaching and safety of up to six 8- to 13-year-old students on and off the water.
• Provide a supportive learning environment to help learners develop inner-strength, self-confidence, and technical skills.
• Give students the opportunity to learn and play in Camden Harbor and surrounding coastal islands while focusing on team building and STEAM activities such as navigation, marine ecology, anchoring, knot tying, arts-and-crafts, tides, seamanship, maneuvering boats, plant identification, scavenger hunts, etc. Whatever skills you bring to the table, you can teach them!
