Bay Studies Class

Interns at Echo Hill Outdoor School work with children of a wide variety of age levels, assist with instructional classes across all curriculum areas, and are given unique opportunities to grow as educators. Interns are most often college students/graduates obtaining practical field training to earn academic credit from their college or university. Other individuals who take advantage of our internship program include young adults taking a gap year between high school and college, or candidates interested in pursuing a new career path in outdoor experiential education.

Room and board provided. On-site housing is provided. Internships at Echo Hill Outdoor School are a residential position. Part of your internship is living with students: eating meals when they are in attendance, sleeping in tents/dorms on a rotating schedule, hanging out with students during residential time/playing games. The work week runs Monday-Friday and weekends are on your own. This internship is more than just professional experience, it's a lifestyle! Training for all incoming Teachers and Interns begins Monday March 5.

This residential volunteer experience is unparalleled with other internships. While learning new skills you as a volunteer get to live and work in a beautiful part of Maryland's Eastern Shore along the Chesapeake Bay. Each potential employee and volunteer must past a Background Check and Fingerprinting prior to acceptance.

Mission Statement

Echo Hill Outdoor School’s mission is to provide students with positive experiences in the outdoors that are exciting, interesting, and fun. Through our programs, students learn more about the wonders of nature, the value of history, and the diversity of individual qualities. We are dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment for students to feel challenged and successful with the freedom to think, question, and express themselves.

Description

Echo Hill's outdoor classes and residential programs are grounded in our desire to have students live and learn closely with nature. From sensory exploration classes, to canvas platform tents, from the outdoor dining hall, to the dorms surrounded by forest, the philosophy of immersion is present. Our small, hands-on classes provide opportunities for all students to become engaged and participate. Interactions between staff and students in the tent areas, during meals, and in class groups focus on fun, creativity, respect, awareness, understanding, and learning. As teachers and naturalists, we believe that students learn best when they are curious and interested.
