Position Dates: August 11, 2025 - August 7, 2026
Position Description:
The Eagle Bluff Fellowship is a transformative, year-long residential training program designed for individuals passionate about environmental education, outdoor leadership, and interpretive skills. This immersive experience combines hands-on, inquiry-based teaching with professional development through specialized seminars, mentorship, and peer collaboration. Fellows gain over 400 hours of practical experience instructing diverse audiences while refining their facilitation techniques and learning from ongoing evaluations and feedback.
Throughout the program, fellows are supported by a network of mentors and peers, and they engage in continuous learning opportunities that foster personal and professional growth. Upon completion, fellows are well-prepared to pursue careers in environmental education, outdoor programming, or related fields, equipped with both teaching experience and a deeper understanding of effective environmental education techniques.
While not a traditional graduate program, the fellowship offers graduate-level seminars and the opportunity to earn graduate credits through Hamline University (for participants with a college degree). These credits can be applied toward a Master’s program at Hamline or other institutions nationwide, though earning graduate credits is entirely optional and not a requirement for participation in the Fellowship.
Program Benefits
- Extensive training in environmental and outdoor education with mentorship from experienced educators.
- Gain practical experience instructing over 20 different classes across adventure, science, and cultural history topics to a variety of audiences.
- Option to earn graduate credits through Hamline University.
- Being part of a supportive community of peers, mentors, and professionals dedicated to learning, collaboration, and personal growth.
