We seek strong capable, confident teacher who is experienced in
working with teenagers and young adults and can be responsible for the
personal and social development of the group of 12 students throughout
a 6 month journey. Our curriculum is well-established, and we have a
full team of specialty teachers who will be responsible for all
outdoor wilderness living skills, equipment, and logistics.

Program description: The New Hampshire-Vermont Semester Program will
begin at our Base Camp in Marlow, NH with students and teachers
working together to prepare for the expedition. Students will sew a
tent that will be their home on the trail, make mukluks, dehydrate
meat and vegetables, learn and practice back country sking techniques,
and study navigation, nutrition, meteorology and other expedition
related topics. The journey begins: three hundred miles on the
Catamount Trail from Southern Vermont to the Canadian border! The
group will travel for several days, then have intervals of rest and
study. During these intervals, teachers and local experts will join
the group to share traditional skills, local history, culture, and
natural sciences. Upon reaching the Canadian border, the students will
spend a month wrapping up the winter portion of the expedition and
preparing for the spring. Students will study topics related to the
Northeast Kingdom and the Connecticut River Watershed. They will build
a 23-foot wood/canvas canoe to carry them down the river, weave pack
baskets for their food and belongings, and craft the paddles that will
propel them homeward along 300 miles of the Connecticut River. Having
traveled full-circle, the length of Vermont and back, students will
spend the last weeks completing final coursework and putting together
a theatrical presentation to share with families and the public.
