Range Camp is a field-based educational camp offered for high school students between the ages of 15 and 18. It is designed to offer an appreciation of the extent, importance and value of California's rangelands and natural resources. Students interact with university faculty and experienced professionals in classroom and field activities.
The cost is $450, but most campers get scholarships. Applications are due April 29, 2016.
I spent 2 days at Range Camp last year. It was super fun spending time with the kids learning about rangeland and wildlife ecology, and learning how to build fence and vaccinate goats and sheep. It's a great opportunity for some of our local Central Coast kids. I highly recommend it.
Here's the flyer and application.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
