Instructors are generally highly self-sufficient and comfortable problem solving unpredictable or unforeseen work events. Compensation: $30.00 per hour # Adventure, Discovery, Inspiration First We don't put safety first at Coyle Outside. That is said with trepidation as it seems our culture, especially around kids, increasingly values safety above all else sometimes. That leaves things like good judgement, relationship, trust, connection to come AFTER. What we see is that the world kids grow up in is increasingly sanitized of adversity and opportunities to experience failure/victory and to experience themselves as potential difference makers. We believe there is a distinction between discovery and 'learning' and that discovery changes a person forever. We believe that wisdom (as well as a beautiful, rich life) comes through failures, taking risks and from entering and passing through what is scary and uncomfortable. # Work With Us To work here we want you to be up to something in life. We are looking for instructors who feel the need to make a difference as much as the need to have a paycheck. Our instructor team is expected to develop themselves as guides and mentors for our participants while also developing strong working relationships with co instructors that build a strong culture and keep standards high. ​ Many, if not most, of our programs have been the brainchild of or inspired by the initiative and talent of individual instructors whether that be our fishing and archery camps or our expansion to new states. Our instructors are self sufficient, autonomous and adventurous OR they are committed to developing themselves in these ways. The work is challenging and rewarding and instructors are at the same time highly independent and part of a larger culture. ​ We provide training in instruction approach, group and behavior management and technical outdoor skills. Our instructors work largely autonomously and with limited supervision and are confident and ready to be responsible. All instructors are on a first name basis with the founder/owner. Year round we are looking for unique people who are ready to both stretch themselves and contribute to something larger - Make a difference for youth and impact their experience of themselves and what is possible for the future of their world - Commit to and explore the power of nature based experiential education - Challenge and develop your own personal and professional sense of adventure and self sufficiency/autonomy - Develop your own outdoor skills competency and/or use your developed passion/skills in an instructional role
