Thank you for taking the time to fill out an employee reference for Keewaydin. References are part of the thorough hiring process for all of our employees and we appreciate your time.

The Keewaydin Environmental Education Center (KEEC) offers hands-on, experiential learning in a variety of natural habitats, all within only a few miles of our campus in Salisbury, Vermont. Our educational values are rooted in the concept of community and we strive to empower students with a better understanding of how their personal daily decisions can affect the environment. Drawing from the natural world in which we live and study, we incorporate history, science, math, language arts, geology, and physical education into a series of investigations that integrate with school curricula. The KEEC instructor’s role is to guide the process of thought discovery and to foster enthusiasm for the learning process. Some instructors come with a strong background in environmental sciences or related fields, while others have a wealth of experience working with children. Throughout the week our energetic staff helps to develop community in all aspects of the program; from cabin life to job duties. Together we form a unique community whose strength is reflected in the success of the program.
