SEMESTER TEACHER:  Kroka is always looking for qualified teachers to join our Semester Team. Familiarize yourself with our Semester programs HERE. Kroka semesters are unique educational and spiritual experiences that require inspired, passionate, and dedicated staff. Teaching on a semester program shares many similarities with other instructing positions at Kroka. However, teaching on a semester program also requires skills that are unique to this particular offering, due to the length of the program, expected student outcomes, the rigorous and remote nature of these expeditions, and the focus on academic learning and skills assessment.

“I am so grateful for all I learned at Kroka. I could have not asked for a better foundation of knowledge for technical skill combined with honest, real communication with students. Kroka is a really special place.”

“Being a part of Kroka has been both nourishing and empowering. Not only has it pushed my edges for growth as an outdoor educator, it has rekindled a sense of belonging and purpose. I care about this work for the community it builds, the responsibility it requires, and the impact it is capable of leaving on the heart of every participant.”

“Every day at Kroka brought something fresh, a new challenge, a different work environment, even sometimes a new face. It taught me many things, technical skills, leadership skills, adaptability, but most of all about my attitude and energy. It helped me to understand that the attitude and energy you bring to life will be brought back to you.”
