Introduction

Climbing and/or Mountaineering and/or Tree Climbing

The Job Offer

In previous years, our campers have climbed trees researching biodiversity, refounded back hidden entries of medieval mines in middle of cliff, reached 4’000 meters high ridges for following the evoluton of the climate and... they cooked their own pizzas in wood fire.

And you, what are you going to get them to achieve next year?

Choosing to become a Educator at Objectif Sciences International, means making our participating childrens, teenagers and adults’ dreams come true. It means choosing a challenge and surpassing oneself in large-scale projects.
