You'll visit stunning natural areas, make fast friends, and complete a meaningful work project. Be aware, however, that this is not a vacation or summer camp. You will need to commit a great deal of energy to get the most out of this up to 35 day experience.
All groups are co-educational, and have an equal number of young men and women.
Crews of six participants have one or two crew leaders, crews of eight or ten have two. Crew leaders are experienced in all aspects of outdoor living and conservation work. Your crew will live, learn, work, and play at a base camp located in either a remote backcountry setting or a more easily accessible site in the natural resource area you choose. Whichever program you select, your rustic tent camp will have few amenities. You will hike extensively, be dirty more often than clean, sometimes be wet and cold or hot and sweaty, be bitten by mosquitoes, and will cook all meals over a campstove.
