From bear hangs to blue bags - learn about techniques to lighten your recreational footprint during The Mountaineers Leave No Trace Trainer Course for teens. This interactive, overnight backpacking course takes place in a backcountry setting and is one of the only teen-oriented Trainer Courses in the country. Participants will not only practice new skills, but also learn techniques for sharing the Leave No Trace skills and ethics with others.
Washington Conservation Camp is a week-long camp that immerses teens in nature. Located on Orcas Island, the girls take classes ranging from ecology to fishing to survival, take hikes, and learn to enjoy and preserve the great outdoors.
This year, the camp is a week early and enrollment is low. Please spread the word about this great camp- it’s only $250 for a whole week, including food/lodging/ferry ride. And scholarships are available!
