STAFF/SUPERVISION
The outdoor classroom requires special skills and structures uncommon to most traditional classroom settings. Therefore, a qualified staff of California clear credentialed field teachers and trained interns carry instructional responsibility for the program, while classroom teachers lend their important support and familiarity with the students to the overall experience.

Children are supervised in the cabins by high school volunteers who are in camp as part of a teen leadership program. Cabin leaders arrive a day before the students and participate in an extensive training where they cover issues such as behavior management, child abuse prevention, appropriate games to play and stories to tell, and much more. Cabin leaders are assigned to a field teacher who guides them and supervises them throughout the week. Cabin leaders must be in academic good standing, receive permission from their parents and school officials to attend, and successfully complete an interview and the training mentioned above. In addition, each cabin leader must obtain a signature from all of their teachers, which serves as a reference stating that they agree that the cabin leader will be a good role model for children.

Schools can choose to bring their own cabin leaders, or assist our Cabin Leader Coordinators in recruiting leaders from high schools in their own district. Schools that assist in this process will receive financial assistance for their students attending the Camp Campbell Outdoor Science School.
