From September 12- November 10, Boone County schools, in partnership with the Extension Service, had 1,225 participants in our overnight environmental camp experience.

Students learned the importance of healthy ecosystems and our place within them. Youth were also engaged in life skills as they were responsible for their own belongings, meal cleanups, and communications with peers and adults. Teacher evaluation of program pending.
