Instructional opportunities vary depending on the region.
In Maine and Maryland, our Instructors primarily work seasonally leading wilderness expeditions. Maine's season runs from May through September. Maryland's season runs from March through November. Work schedules range from a few days to hundreds of days. During the season, both regions run courses for the general public and educational institutions.
