Adult Responsibilities - Chaperones and Teachers Your primary responsibilities with students are in the areas of MX>JFIBMBEA^ >@FLBOB>@LBEA^ %$, M@VJL_# In a nutshell, chaperones are expected to keep the students punctual for meetings; supervise at meals, during recreation, and in the cabins; and participate as a part of the group in an active, positive manner.
Supervision You are responsible for supervising students during their stay at NatureBridge. 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 will be directly responsible. It is probable 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 chaperones per learning group per day, as more adu lts can distract students. Additional chaperones are welcome, but should be utilized by rotating their time with instructional groups and by supervising recreational activities, dinner and evening program. 9:00a.m. – 4:00p.m. Instructional Day - You will join a NatureBridge Field Science Educator led trail group each day. During an orientation meeting just after your school arrives, you will meet your Educator and discuss group management and discipline policy, safety protocols, and expectations. Your primary responsibilities while on the trail are to support the Educator by appropriate participation in group activities, positive interactions with and supervision of the students, and assisting in emergency situations.
4:00p.m. – 5:30p.m. Recreation Time – Teachers and chaperones have primary supervisory responsibility for students during recreation times. Please work with the lead teacher to plan and schedule Chaperone supervision. Your group may wish to bring recreational equipment, art supplies, and games for these periods. Meal Times - Breakfasts and dinners are served in the dining hall. Lunch will be eaten out on the trail. Meals in the dining hall are supervised by chaperones. The NatureBridge Site Coordinator will make announcements, provide an educational component, and organize clean-up. 7:00p.m. Evening Program - will take place 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 a calm and respectful atmosphere in the cabin areas. Students can use cabin time to read, write in their journals, or do quiet activities. At NatureBridge, we work to keep the cabin area a quieter place on campus and try to keep more boisterous 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 per iod can be a time for you to focus students on journal writing, s haring the day's highlights, or quiet games and reflective activities. A Recreation Time Planner is included in this Workbook to help with this scheduling. """#$%&'()*(+,-)#.(- - /.$&%/& 0(+$/)"+11+%23.()4&5$%&'()*(+,-)#.(- - tel 678#98:#;7:<

Participation Upon arrival, NatureBridge staff will meet with your entire group to share expectations and information about your program. In a brief teacher and chaperone orientation, we will review field responsibilities, safety procedures, and our discipline policy. This meeting is one of the few times all adults will meet together and presents a necessary forum for sharing information about medical alerts, behavioral considerations, special needs, etc. You and your Educator will also meet individually to discuss group management while out on the trail.
Throughout the instructional portion of a typical day, you and the students will engage in hands-on study on the local environment. Part of your responsibility is taking an appropriate, engaged role in field activities, group challenges, and discussions during the daily hikes. Your positive attitude and active participation will strongly affect the students’ experience. Students are required to go on hikes unless ill, injured, or being disciplined. If a student must stay on campus a chaperone is required to supervise the individual. Please alert the Site Coordinator to any participants remaining on campus during the instructional day.
Safety NatureBridge staff will convey emergency procedures and safety precautions to all adults and students during the Orientation meeting. As a Chaperone you are tasked with helping maintain a safe environment. Please be familiar with and uphold National Park Service and NatureBridge rules and regulations as outlined in the Campus Guidelines and Expectations. While acting in your role as Chaperone, always err on the side of safety.
Although group safety is the primary responsibility of NatureBridge staff, you will be a crucial source of support should an accident or emergency occur. Our Educators hold Wilderness First Responder certification. If you have advanced first aid or medical training, please inform the staff during the Orientation meeting. In the unlikely event that professional medical assistance is necessary, NatureBridge staff is in radio contact with each other and with the National Park Service to access emergency medical service. If you are near a telephone, dial 911 to reach an emergency dispatcher. Students taken ill or injured are under the care and supervision of the group’s leader and adult chaperones. One of these adults will call to confer with the parent/guardian if the need arises. The Participant Registration Form contains important medical information and a copy can be found with the lead teacher or the NatureBridge Program Manager. NatureBridge staff may administer certain over-the-counter medications that are in approved NatureBridge FirstAid Kits (Aspirin, Tylenol, Advil, Benadryl, Imodium, antibiotic ointment).
Thank you for taking time to read this information thoroughly! We appreciate your effort to make your NatureBridge program rewarding and memorable for both students and adults.

Campus Guidelines and Expectations At NatureBridge, students will live and study closely together in an unfamiliar setting away from their homes and families. The following guidelines have been established to help students and adults prepare for and enjoy the experience safely. Respect each other Respect personal space and property. It is important to take good care of your own belongings and leave others’ alone. Proper clothing and equipment are essential for a safe and comfortable experience. Treat others as you want to be treated. It is important that there be respectful dialogues among students, chaperones, teachers, and NatureBridge staff. Attentive listening and participation in events and activities are key signs of respect. Respect each person’s privacy. Students may only enter their own assigned cabin. Consider the needs of others. Quiet hours are observed between 9:30pm and 7:00am, except under special circumstances. Students are expected to be in their bunks and quiet by 9:30pm so that everyone can get enough sleep for the next day's adventures.
Care for yourself Stay with your group when you are hiking or exploring during the program. Your chaperone must know where you are at all times. Behave in a safe and responsible manner while you are here. An accident or injury can ruin your trip or someone else’s. If you or someone you are with becomes sick or injured, contact your teacher, chaperone, or a NatureBridge staff member immediately.
While on Campus… Help us be stewards of the env ironment by conserving energy: turn off lights and when not in use. Also, REDUCE, REUSE, & RECYCLE whenever possible.
Food is not allowed in cabins at any time. To avoid attracting rodents and other critters to the cabins, any food brought to NatureBridge must be given to a NatureBridge staff member for secure storage, and will be returned to you upon your departure. Please treat the facility with care. Our dining and program facility, sleeping cabins and restrooms, are historic buildings. Wooded areas around the campus are off limits to students. The exception to this is during the day when you are with your learning group and a NatureBridge Educator.

Leave No Tr ace Trail Guidelines – for Teachers, Students, and Chaperones Take Only Pictures, Leave Only Footpr ints.
“
”
Remember, the less we disturb an area, the more we can discover about it. Follow the guidelines below and be prepared to observe and explore the world around you. You’ll be amazed at what you discover! Be prepared for the day. Wear and pack ap propr iate gear in your backpack including hiking boots, a warm jacket, hat, gloves, rain gear, leak-proof water bottle, notebook, pencil, and other items as requested by your NatureBridge Educator or teacher. Please stay on the trails. If we limit our travel to existing trails, we protect the plants and animals alongside the path. This is important to do for the sake of those living things and to allow other people the pleasure of walking in a wild and beautiful place. Please be observant and careful wherever you go. Attention to trail irregularities (roots, rocks, etc.) will help avoid unnecessary mishaps. Natural objects like rocks, twigs, or shells may be picked up, but please put them back where you found them. Do NOT throw objects, as throwing things can harm others and will disturb plants and wildlife. Dispose of waste properly. Pack out what you pack in. You can also help the environment by picking up litter that others have left beh ind. Your Educator will inform you about the availability of restrooms and minimum impact ways to answer nature’s call while on the trail! Respect wildlife: though it can be tempting to approach, feed, or follow wild animals, please do not . Animals can be stressed when people approach or make loud noises near them. Human food is unhealthy for wild creatures and feeding animals can make them si ck o r even die. Al so , animals can injure you and may carry serious diseases.. Respect other visitors to wild places. Follow the directions of your NatureBridge Educator regarding noise level and what to do when your group meets other people on the trail. You are in a National Park! Collecting any natural objects or artifacts within the National Park is prohibited.
And remember to have fun – we are lucky to have these beautiful woods, streams, and trails to explore!
