Job Description

Trackers Earth is a pioneering organization dedicated to providing immersive outdoor and folk craft education for children. Recognized for its award-winning camps, Trackers Earth focuses on equipping young learners with authentic wilderness skills that foster independence, confidence, and a deep connection with nature. Established on principles that blend traditional skills with modern educational philosophies, Trackers Earth offers a unique environment where children engage in adventures that challenge their abilities and encourage personal growth in a supportive, adventurous community. With a rich curriculum that covers bushcraft, mariner skills, homesteading, strategic field skills, and leadership grounded in Stoic philosophy, the organization ensures that every child experiences a transformative journey into outdoor education.

At Trackers Earth, the outdoor educator plays a vital role in shaping these experiences. Educators act as guides, mentors, and role models who lead groups of children through a dynamic and fast-paced summer season. The role demands a combination of clear leadership, hands-on teaching, and a dedication to safety and community values. Educators are responsible for cultivating an environment where kids learn through doing—whether it's building shelters, mastering fire craft, honing navigation skills, or developing leadership qualities. The position is ideal for individuals who thrive in active, outdoor settings and are passionate about fostering competence and independence in children.

This is a full-time, temporary position that offers competitive pay ranging from $840 to $1,256 per week, depending on experience, certifications, and the specific role undertaken. Positions available include Guide (Educator), Coordinator (Manager), and Specialist (Mentor), each with distinct responsibilities but united by a commitment to excellence and impactful teaching. Employees benefit from a vibrant, collaborative work atmosphere, opportunities for professional development, and the chance to be part of a mission-driven team that values innovation and community service.

Working with Trackers Earth means joining a team of expert educators who prioritize safety, skill mastery, and fun. It's a place where staff are empowered to lead independently while supported by a strong framework that ensures program quality and participant well-being. The organization values diverse backgrounds, welcoming those with experience in varied fields such as restaurant management, search and rescue, formal teaching, and specialized outdoor guiding. With a focus on continuous improvement, educators receive coaching and resources to enhance their skills throughout the season.

Overall, Trackers Earth provides not just a job but a meaningful career path for individuals passionate about outdoor education and youth development. The role is demanding yet rewarding, offering the chance to make a tangible difference in children's lives by helping them develop real-world skills, self-confidence, and a lifelong appreciation for the natural world.
