In a nutshell, chaperones are expected to keep the students punctual for meetings; supervise at meals, duringrecreation, and in the cabins; andparticipate as apart of the group in an active, positive manner.

Supervision

You are responsible for supervising students during their stay atNatureBridge. Students must be under

teacher and/or chaperone supervision at all times! The lead teacher will provide you with the names of

students for whom you willbe directly responsible. It isprobable that you will have two lists: one of students

who will share your cabin loop, and another of students in your learning group.

Adult chaperones play a central role in the success of a NatureBridge program. We strongly recommend

no more than two chaperonesper learning group per day, as more adultscan distract students. Additional

chaperones are welcome,but shouldbe utilizedby rotating their time with instructional groups and by

supervising recreational activities, dinner and eveningprogram.

9:00a.m. 4:00p.m. Instructional Day - You will join aNatureBridge Field Science Educator led trail group each

day. During an orientation meetingjust after your school arrives, you will meet your Educator and discuss

group management and discipline policy, safety protocols, and expectations. Yourprimary responsibilities while

on the trailare to support the Educatorby appropriate participation in group activities, positive interactions

with and supervision ofthe students, and assisting in emergency situations.

4:00p.m.5:30p.m. Recreation TimeTeachers and chaperones haveprimary supervisory responsibility for

students during recreationtimes. Please work with the lead teacher to plan and schedule Chaperone

supervision. Your group may wish tobring recreational equipment, art supplies, and games for these periods.

Meal Times - Breakfasts and dinners are served in the dining hall. Lunch willbe eaten out on the trail. Meals

in the dining hall are supervisedby chaperones. The NatureBridge Site Coordinator will make announcements,

provide an educational component, and organize clean-up.

7:00p.m. Evening Program - will takeplace after the evening meal,typically lasting an hour.

8:00p.m.7:00a.m. Cabin Time - You will supervise a cabin unit in the evenings and through the night. It is

your responsibility to establish acalm and respectful atmosphere in the cabin areas. Students can use cabin

time to read, write in their journals, or do quietactivities. At NatureBridge, we work to keep the cabin area a

quieter place on campus and try to keep moreboisterous activity to the recreation fields.

7:00a.m.8:00 a.m. Mornings - Before the instructional days start is usually spent getting students ready for

the day: tidying cabins, organizing packs, and visiting the restroom. On the last morning, students must sweep

out their cabins and move luggage to a designated location.

Please note: We suggest that the afternoon slots be used for organized recreation. The after-dinner periodcan be a timefor you to focus students onjournal writing, sharing the day's highlights, or quiet games and reflective activities. A

Recreation Time Planner is included in this Workbook to help with this scheduling.
