Cornell Outdoor Education develops teamwork, leadership, and growth through outdoor experience.
We do so by:
Share your passion and enthusiasm with others!
Whether you have been in the outdoors since your childhood, or you just took your first course with COE, there are many ways to get involved with COE! Many of our positions have cyclical hiring periods and fixed training dates, so be sure to read the fine print.
Take the skills you've learned and inspire your fellow students. Work as part of an instructor team and hone your teaching skills. Don't be shy, apply!
Outdoor Odyssey is a pre-freshman orientation program hosted by Cornell Outdoor Education offering 4, 6 and 8 day trips. We offer a variety of trips: backpacking, canoeing, rock climbing, community service, and even trips for transfer students.
Indoor rock climbing is an exciting and rewarding activity but can be intimidating to new climbers. At the same time, we want to challenge experienced climbers to push their limits. Join the team and help create a safe and welcoming environment for all climbers.
CTC promotes safe and environmentally responsible tree climbing techniques for recreation, education, and research. From local fundraisers to the tallest Redwoods to tropical research projects, you can find CTC all over the world! We offer tree climbing courses for all ages and experience levels both locally and internationally.
We offer PE Courses which you can find here: Tree Climbing PE Course

We supply the necessary gear for all of COE's course offerings. Additionally, we rent a very wide selection of equipment to the community at large. We carry camping and backpacking gear, canoes, sea kayaks, cross-country and telemark skis, snowshoes, and more. In addition to outdoor gear, COE has a fleet of passenger vans available for rent to Cornell Departments and official Cornell events.
