What is SAS?

Science Adventure School is an adventure-based, outdoor science school dedicated to empowering and educating West Virginia’s youth. We integrate adventure sports-driven STEM curriculum with a hands-on, engaging environmental curriculum at the world-class Summit Bechtel Reserve, Heritage Farm, Jackson's Mill 4-H camp and WVU's Outdoor Education Center. We are a mission driven organization that works primarily with rural, low-income, public school students and their teachers to offer high quality, life changing outdoor experience that they normally would not have access to.

Applications are not yet open for the Fall 2024 season, but they will be soon! If you would like us to contact you as soon as applications are opened, please fill out the SAS Application Waitlist.

In the meantime, please feel welcome to review the 2024 staff details - there are no open applications but you can view our job descriptions. We will also be posting lead positions soon.

For Fall 2024, we will have openings for three different seasonal positions: Outdoor Education Guide, STEM Instructor, and Environmental Education Instructor. You can learn more about life at SAS through our Staff FAQ. See descriptions for additional information and direct links to position applications. When they go live, you can also access all job applications through WVU Hire. We suggest you search "Science Adventure School" to find them quickly. If you have any questions before applying, please contact us as scienceadventureschool@mail.wvu.edu.

We offer a short season option. You can choose between our standard season (typically 3 months, August - November) or a shorter, southern season (7 weeks, August - October).

We have limited "short-week" options for instructor positions. If you choose to work a short-week contract, you will attend our training weeks, but will then only be expected to work Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please bring this up in your interview if you are interested.
