-: What I tell all of our outdoor educators is,
is your attitude and your willingness to do
what it takes is really the scale that we look for
and we appreciate.
Everyone can learn how to paddle a boat
and be safe on the water.
Those are those hard skills that, you know, we can teach
and everyone can be successful.
But if, if you have a bad attitude and you don't wanna,
you know, do that hard work that needs to happen,
it's harder to be successful.
So, I think coming into any experience with an open-mind
especially, you know, at a non profit or
at wilderness inquiry is what we appreciate.
And I think is a really important skill to have.
We partner with a lot of different organizations around
the state or on the country
and especially the National Park Service.
They have, you know, so many resources on their website.
They have public events you can go to,
to learn about the area.
But for a staff team we do a lot of different trainings.
We have interpreted training session
where we go out to different parks
and go though activities that they'll be facilitating.
We have lesson plans that we provide.
So, we have that hard material.
And then, you know, as an outdoor leader
and outdoor educator in the field,
we have them shadow our, you know, returning staff
and see that how things go before that,
so they can see and then practice and give,
be given feedback in all that.
