Goal: Help youth begin to see themselves as people who belong on a college campus, in nature, and in climate solutions, through a 5-day program that engages them in experiential activities, outdoor labs, guest speakers, and a capstone project. While content is environmental science and climate, the emphasis is on identity (“I am someone who can help”), attitudes (hopeful, efficacy), and life skills (teamwork, observation, communication, problem solving).
