MCPS High School Assistants Needed for 6th Grade Outdoor Education Program

Many middle schools seek high school volunteers to assist with their Grade 6 Outdoor Education program, and the schools listed on the Google form linked below have asked for assistance in identifying potential assistants to work with them during Outdoor Ed.

High school assistants who are selected to support a middle school will accompany middle school students and staff to the Smith Center for a 3-day program and will assist with supervision, instruction, and activities throughout that program.

There is no cost for high school assistants to participate, meals are provided, and assistants will have dedicated study time each day. High school assistants will need to submit a permission slip signed by a parent or guardian and must also receive permission from their teachers and administrators to participate. High school assistants can earn up to 16 SSL hours through their work as an Outdoor Education Assistant.
