About Our Staff

Since 1997, Adventure Club has operated through the University of Missouri's College of Education. Through the Education Department, as well as other departments at the University, Adventure Club has been able to recruit and hire enthusiastic, goal-oriented site assistants, many of whom go on to become teachers.

In addition, each school has a site facilitator who oversees the day to day operation of the program. All site facilitators have a minimum of 60 college credit hours including 12 hours in child-related course work and experience working with groups of children. All full-time site facilitators have at least a college degree.

The full-time site facilitators have attended local, Missouri and national conferences to gain more knowledge regarding curricula, group management, behavior management, resources and much more. Adventure Club provides training to site assistants on such topics as discipline techniques, character building, gym games and diversity to name a few.
