Day 1
Thu - Jan 24
The first night introduces you to DNS, our staff, your fellow volunteers, and the STW curriculum. We get necessary paperwork out of the way, take some time for a dinnertime snack, and distribute the STW Volunteer Naturalist Manual.
Day 2
Fri - Jan 25
First thing in the morning, you will shadow one of our experienced veteran volunteer naturalists who will be leading REAL children on a REAL hike. After lunch, we spend time learning additoinal theme-based activities that you will use with students in grades 4-8.
Snowshoe Hikes
Wed - Fri mornings
Jan 30 - Feb 29
These walks are the heart of the season and the reason for all the great training! Each season, approximately 600 children participate in STW, so every volunteer and hike is important. We ask you to sign-up to lead two or three walks on Wedneday through Friday mornings during the season. You can choose the dates that work with your schedule.
