Teachers and Administration

Teachers are an integral part of the Gilmont outdoor program. From classroom pre-trip anticipation-building and phone calls with anxious parents, teachers can weave school goals into curricular instruction while teaching on the trail.  Over the years, we have noticed that a high level of teacher participation at Gilmont directly correlates to a much richer educational experience for students.  

The teacher's presence and participation throughout the visit not only ensures a smooth trip, but also provides the opportunity to get to know students in a new setting. Even the experiences of community in the cabins, during meals, and each activity block enhances the group's time at Gilmont.

Throughout the week, teachers have a variety of responsibilities:  
  • cabin management
  • teaching on the trail
  • evaluating student learning
  • communicating with the director and nurse
  • helping students who need a little extra attention 
The Gilmont director will visit the school a few weeks before your trip to discuss logistics, plan curriculum and more thoroughly discuss the roles and responsibilities that lead to a successful trip.
