Kickstart your future at our Conservation Career Camp!

During this 3- day and 2- night adventure, high schoolers who are curious about careers in conservation will explore work that sustains our ecosystems. During the day, teens will traipse through trees to learn plant ID, assess soil samples to examine forest ecology, and probe plants’ pores to ponder physiology. During the evening, participants will enjoy lodging at Red Oak Camp, in addition to nature- based recreation like a high ropes course, tree climbing, and fire building.

When: Sunday, March 23 – Tuesday, March 25

A packing list and FAQs will be available soon.

Have questions? Please email Cherise Kent, Young Adult Educator, at [email protected]
