Students will learn in the field from wildlife professionals who love their work. The camp will cover conservation ethics, predator-prey interactions, capture and census techniques, plant and animal identification, hunting as a management tool, hunter safety and shooting skills. Students will trap small mammals, net and handle birds and track predators by electronic telemetry. But most of all, they will see first-hand the ups and downs of a variety of wildlife occupations. Students considering careers in wildlife or natural resource sciences are strongly encouraged to attend.
Financial aid is available.
