Beyond Your Week

Outdoor School Student Leaders become a rare combination of doctor, lawyer, sociologist, and teacher. On site, they are competent child psychologists with their sophomore text books as proof. They are strict disciplinarians with twinkles in their eyes. They must be skilled referees, baby-sitters, teachers, friends, advisors and scientists. The Outdoor School Student Leader is a humorist in a time of crisis, an arbitrator in a time of conflict and a leader in a time of confusion. They are idols with their heads in a cloud of campfire smoke and their feet in the mud.
For all of this they are paid with an overload of missed schoolwork, a bundle of soiled clothes, and a state of exhaustion. You wonder how they can stand the pace and the pressure. You wonder if they know how great they really are. And somehow, you realize you can never thank them enough when, as they leave at the end of the week, they wave good-bye and say, "See ya next session!" So, are you still interested in spending a week outdoors enlightening sixth grade students? Please review the resources to the right to ensure you are fully prepared. |
