NRDs Sponsor New Adventure Camp

Concern and interest in the environment is booming, whether it is about understanding the needs of wildlife or how to take care of local water and land. Students who have completed sixth, seventh, or eighth grade are invited to attend “Adventure Camp About the Environment,” which promises both fun and adventure while learning about the environment. Sponsored by Nebraska’s Natural Resources Districts, the camp will focus on water resources, soil and land, forestry, range and grassland, wildlife and aquatics.

During the camp, students will have a chance to roll up their sleeves and dig into nature, forming a new understanding of the environment through interactive participation.  In addition, the students will have a chance to enjoy the environment through activities such as canoeing, climbing, water slide and other adventures. Students will also learn about possible careers in the area of natural resources from the professionals.

It all takes place at the State 4-H Youth Camp at Halsey June 20^th-23rd.    Camp cost is $175.00 (Scholarships Available)
Registrations are due May 1, 2010.
