2010 Conservation Camp Information

2010 State Summer Conservation Camp (June 22-25, Trails End Camp, Bruce, WI)
Held annually, Conservation Camp provides students who have completed grades 8, 9 and 10 with the opportunity to better understand and appreciate nature. While gaining teamwork skills and making new friends from around the state, students receive the best kind of teaching, which is both informative and experiential. They learn about a wide range of topics, such as wildlife, soil, erosion, pollution, ecosystems, water quality, aquatic habitats, orienteering and canoeing. Registration cost is $100 per student. Scholarships for students to attend are available from your County Land and Water Conservation Department and other local conservation organizations.

For more information, contact the Rusk County Land Conservation Department at mbarber@ruskcountywi.us or (715) 532-2162.

SUBJECT:    Staff Needs

This is an invitation to all Land and Water Conservation Department employees to consider becoming part of the staff at the 2010 Conservation Camp. It is scheduled for June 22-25 at Trails End Camp near Bruce in Rusk County. See our flyer with details.

We need:

	10 Counselors (this number will vary depending on the number of campers enrolled).
	Teams of two Counselors will each be “assigned” a group of campers for the duration of Camp.
	The position of Counselor is the toughest position at Camp. And yet, it is the most important. Whether or not campers enjoy their time with us depends greatly on the Counselor.

The most important qualification for someone considering helping us out is, "Enjoys working with students in an outdoor setting."

Other attributes that will be useful are:

	Canoeist; nice but not super necessary
	Positive role model
	Able to function on very little sleep
	Eyes in back of head

Please contact Paula Carow (Rusk County LWCD @ 715/532-2162) if you are considering coming to camp this year. We guarantee that you'll work hard, eat great, and have a really good time.
