Young Women's Natural Resources Career Camps
Discover Your Forest partners with natural resource specialists from public and private land management organizations to deliver multi-day, hands-on learning experiences for female-identifying students entering grades 10-12. These day camps serve as an introduction to the various careers in natural resources and provide opportunities for professional mentorship. During specialist sessions, campers learn from female natural resources professionals in careers such as recreation, timber management, fisheries, wildlife biology, engineering, public affairs, wildland fire, and more! Empowering each other, building camaraderie, and forging friendships are focal areas of this camp!
