Buncombe County Soil & Water will be hosting a Youth Environmental Stewardship Camp this summer. Camp WILD is a five-day long summer day camp with one night of camping, focusing on having fun while learning in the WILD outdoors! We explore some of the local sights and attractions of WNC while learning about how to conserve, protect, respect, and enjoy the wilderness!
Camp Wild is open to current Envirothon students and remaining slots will be determined on an application process of current 6th-12th grade students. The cost for the week will be $30 per student thanks to a generous grant from the Pigeon River Fund.
Areas of study include soil science, forestry, environmental issues, solid waste, recycling, aquatics, wildlife, and water quality. Contact Taira Lance at 828-250-4787 or taira.lance@buncombecounty.org for information.
