Wildlife Leadership
ADVENTURES
"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength
that will endure as long as life lasts."
--Rachel Carson
Adult Team Leaders
By participating as a team leader, you can help nurture and develop Pennsylvania's future conservation leaders. Team leaders participate fully in all aspects of the program, learning right alongside their team of youth participants. Team leaders are the primary mentors and motivators of the youth, guiding them as they push themselves academically, physically, and emotionally. If you love wildlife and the outdoors, this is a perfect opportunity to share your passion with a younger generation! In addition, you will have the opportunity to learn from and get to know some of the top wildlife professionals in the state.
“It was great to see the ability of these kids be put to the test and to watch them grow and blossom. Something special happened here.” -- 2007 Team Leader
“I am so impressed by the instructors assembled for the camp! I think lives have been changed this week -- lights have been lit that will never go out.” – 2007 Team leader
The field camp can accomodate four team leaders, each of whom will be part of a team consisting of five youth and one youth assistant leader (a student who has participated in the program in a prior year). Team leaders will receive a scholarship covering tuition costs (includes materials, food, and housing for the week).
