Job description

Job Title:
Bilingual Field Instructor
Cal-Wood Mission & Philosophy
Cal-Wood Education Center is on a mission to facilitate positive nature experiences for all—especially those who haven't yet spent time in the mountains. Since 1982, Cal-Wood has provided residential environmental and outdoor education programs to hundreds of thousands of Coloradans at our 1,200-acre outdoor classroom located west of Boulder, Colorado. Through school programs, summer camps, and family camps, we provide access for kids and adults from underrepresented communities to have life-changing experiences outdoors.
We believe that no matter where you live or what language you speak, you deserve to feel safe and welcome outside. We strive to grow our programs so that more people from all walks of life can find a meaningful connection with nature.
Cal-Wood has received several national and local awards for our high-quality programs and service to linguistically diverse audiences. Our field instructors receive training in sheltered instruction and inclusive teaching practices to help them effectively engage all students—from Commerce City to Aurora to Boulder and beyond. Instructors provide dynamic, hands-on science education in the field so that all students can explore, learn, and see themselves as scientists.
Position Overview
Cal-Wood seeks a Bilingual Field Instructor whose primary duty is teaching environmental science curriculum to K–12 students in an outdoor setting. Field Instructors work in our beautiful 1,200-acre outdoor classroom alongside a motivated team passionate about natural science, education, and conservation.
Instructors are responsible for providing educational experiences for learning groups of 10–15 students by leading outdoor learning activities and teaching environmental science lessons. Programs range from one-day visits to three-day overnight trips for local students of all ages. Instructors are charged with teaching instructional modules in outdoor skills and environmental science, including applied lessons in ecology, wildlife biology, and outdoor field studies. Utilizing Cal-Wood's curriculum and materials, Instructors independently develop lesson plans, select instructional methods, adapt curriculum to meet student needs, and evaluate student performance. Bilingual Field Instructors often work directly with students (and adult chaperones) who speak Spanish as their first language, so that Instructors can support participants in their communication and learning while at Cal-Wood. 
This position begins August 10, 2026 and runs through May 28, 2027, with the possibility of extending employment for additional seasons.
This position is a seasonal, full-time role.

  • Develop, teach, and evaluate environmental education programs aligned with local curriculum standards
  • Incorporate science, math, history, creative writing, art, and team-building into programs as requested by schools
  • Teach English, Spanish, and multilingual groups with sheltered teaching methods.
25% Support

  • Lead large-group games, songs, skits, storytelling, and campfires to foster a fun, inclusive environment
  • Facilitate 1–2 meals (breakfasts and/or dinners) and 1–2 evening programs (typically a night hike or campfire) each week
  • Assist with translating curriculum materials into Spanish
  • Assist with maintenance of program staff commons areas, organize educational materials, gear room, and staff office
