Environmental Leadership Camp - Aug 5-9, 2013

In the United States, children ages 6-11 spend about thirty hours a week looking at a TV or computer monitor. 11-18 year olds spend 45 hours a week plugged in. Let's unplug this summer and spend some quality time outside! This camp aims to create awareness and understanding of environmental issues that will lead to responsible individual and group actions. Register for this camp and receive quality environmental education from trained facilitator educators to study ecosystems, conservation of natural resources, plant and animal diversity. Hear from guest speakers, experts in the areas of raptors, forestry, wildlife and aquatics, plus get to participate in the traditional camp activities of archery, canoes, swimming and campfires. Meet new friends from all over the state interested in natural resources and the environment and complete a service project and learn how to start one in your own community.

This camp is open to all youth 10-14 years of age. Non 4-H'ers are encouraged to register.

This camp would serve to benefit 4-H'ers involved in or wanting to learn more about the following projects: wildlife, entomology, plant science, Energy Management, Environmental Science, Citizenship and Self-Determined.
