Derek Scott’s decade in leadership roles coupled with 12 years of experience in environmental education makes him an asset to the Pocono Environmental Education Center’s day to day operations.  In addition to being a passionate mission driven leader, he oversees all departments and operations at PEEC, including: education, dining services, facility care and maintenance, and custodial departments.  Derek serves as the primary host for school groups and guests to assure consistency and quality experiences to connect with nature during their visit.   He embraces best practices and safety for all programs and activities including staff training and development. 

I'm a recent graduate from the University of Virginia with a BA in Environmental Studies and Psychology. I've worked with youth and adults in EE through summer camps and school programming for several seasons, and am heavily interested in incorporating psychology into sustainability projects and education practice.
