Description

Are you interested in the outdoors? Do you have a passion or talent for spending time in nature that you'd like to share with others? We are seeking volunteer instructors for the 25th annual Outdoor Family Weekend on September 8-10, 2023 at Stillwater State Park in Groton, Vermont.

This program is a joint effort by UVM Extension 4-H Program and the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources' Departments of Fish and Wildlife and Forests, Parks and Recreation to promote, address, and instill in the general public a basic understanding of environmental conservation, safety, and fun in the outdoors.

Instructors teach 2-hour workshops, in subjects of their choice, offering the basics & providing hands-on experience in exchange for complimentary partial- or full-family registration to the event. The variety of classes include wildlife, forestry, orienteering and GPS, hiking, fitness, camping skills, kayaking, firearm safety, fishing, outdoor arts and crafts, and much more. The link to our webpage and last year's program book can be found here: www.uvm.edu/extension/outdoorfamily.

Contact Allison.smith.2@uvm.edu for more details and pitch us an idea!
