What type of teacher is right to travel with Green Edventures?

Science Teachers Etc. :

Any academic discipline is welcome. We will modify our curriculum to meet you needs but we will relate them to our core objectives on ecology and conservation.

Passionate People:

We want to work with people like us. Do you have a an irrepressible curiosity about the natural world and a passion for learning as well as teaching? Do you feel a sense of joy when you see your students have an “ah ha” moment? Are you concerned about the environment and want to provide some of your exceptional students the opportunity to learn what they can do to protect the planet? If so, you have the foundation required to be one of our group leaders.

Low Maintenance Types Required:

Eco-travel means roughing it a bit. Green Edventures believes in good food, and clean and comfortable accommodations, but some creature comforts you are used to may be sacrificed to leave a smaller impact on the places we travel to. Leave your hair dryer at home and expect a few nights without air conditioning. Group leaders can be assured they will always be given separate sleeping areas from their students.

Physical Requirements:

Group leaders will need to accompany students on the daily activities and therefore should be in excellent physical health, able to walk at a quick pace, carry their own luggage, swim, and be able to eat foreign food, and participate in moderate hiking, climbing, and scrambling.At times activities can be physically strenuous, but we will work with you and your students to create an experience to meet your needs. Look over the specific program's itinerary and talk to us about your concerns or requests. All skill levels are welcome. Activities range from easy to moderate.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

After you submit student deposits you and each participant are committed to participating. If a participant cancels for any reason, the participant forfeits all monies paid. We do however, accept substitutions until March of the program year. Green Edventures reserves the right to deny substitutions. Contact us for details. Because we work with small, locally owned guides, this adventure requires year long planning and early financial commitments with our contractors to ensure they can work with us during their busiest time of year.
