Located in the heart of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region on 160 scenic acres, Prescott Farm Environmental Education Center offers a lot more than “just another job.” We’re a dynamic group of professionals who are passionate about sharing our love of nature with our community through educational programming and immersive activities designed to help community members of all ages develop personal connections with and a deeper understanding of the natural world.
Below is a list of current employment opportunities at Prescott Farm Environmental Education Center.
Field Teachers
Field teachers at Prescott Farm will lead small groups of students from area schools in hands-on discovery of ecological concepts and occasionally lead or co-lead non-school group programs. Field teachers encourage program participants’ awareness of, and sense of connection to, the natural world, as well as foster a sense of wonder and a sense of place.
Status: Per diem, schedule varies throughout year
Compensation: Hourly, $16/hour
Environmental Camp Instructors
Prescott Farm Environmental Education Center seeks enthusiastic, positive, and kind Environmental Camp Instructors for lead teaching positions at WildQuest Camp. Instructors will be paired with a co-instructor and together they will be assigned a group of up to 12 campers. They are responsible for daily supervision and instruction of their campers as well as the larger camp community of campers ages 5-14. Instructors will plan daily activities for all nine sessions during the staff training week. Activity topics may include but are not limited to environmental science, plant and animal ID, natural exploration of the forest, fields, and wetlands, fire-making, cooking, gardening, shelter-building, and teambuilding. We ask instructors to prioritize teaching hands-on, outdoor programs that encourage exploration of and care for our natural environment and wildlife. Instructors are also asked to act as mentors to our Volunteer Junior Instructors (ages 15-17) who will be assigned to help in some groups.
Compensation: Hourly, $15.25-16.50/hour based on experience and education
