23rd Annual Montana Natural Resources Youth Camp
23rd Annual Montana Natural Resources Youth Camp will be held July 12th
– 17th, 2009 to all interested students ages 14-18. Campers spend
one week in the rustic setting of the Lubrecht Experimental Forest east
of Missoula and learn about Montana’s natural resources. Campers
learn about forestry, water, soils, geology, range, wildlife, and recreation,
and spend a half-day rafting the Alberton Gorge of the Clark Fork River.
In between the field sessions, taught largely by professionals that volunteer
from a variety of natural resources based agencies and industries, specialty
evening programs, guest speakers, hands-on learning-through-discovery,
and campfires provide for a lasting summer camp experience.
Student teams also compete in a Land-Use-Game where they manage a 3,400
acre ranch for 20 years. As in real life teams must make hard choices
between profits and conservation ethics, especially if they face poor
commodity prices.
Cost: $175.00
