Nature High Summer Camp

The Nature High Summer Camp is a week long high energy learning experience for High School aged youth living in the state of Utah. The camp is sponsored by several federal agencies and costs only $50.00 for students.

Set in the Manti-LaSal National Forest, the Great Basin Environmental Education Center provides an idyllic setting to learn about natural resources management. Federal professionals share their expertise by providing actual field experiences in Hydrology, Rangeland Conservation, Wildlife Biology, Soils, and Forestry. They help the participants see the fun, (and frustrations) of a federal career.
