Great Lakes Natural Resources Camp 2024 - Staff Registration

July 28-Aug. 3, 2024

Learning sessions and recreation are designed to:

• Increase teens’ appreciation and enjoyment of the outdoors, natural resources, and science.
• Increase teens’ knowledge about the Great Lakes, natural resources ecology and management issues.
• Develop strong attitudinal attachment to Michigan’s unique natural resources and bioregional features.
• Foster scientifically rooted environmental stewardship.
• Develop and expand career and personal interests.
• Develop leadership skills and self-confidence.
• Increase social and academic skills needed for a successful transition to college and life as an adult.

Who should attend?

The camp is for teens aged 13 to 15, or going into 8th-10th grades in the fall, who are functioning at grade-level or above.  You don’t need to be a 4-H member to attend.

So each camper can have the best experience possible, each camper must be able to fully participate in grade-level appropriate small group science learning sessions as well as very active large group recreation. It’s an action-packed week of fun and learning! (Campers who are unable to meet these expectations will be dismissed from camp at the parent/guardians expense.)

Where is the Camp?

The camp is held at a place called Camp Chickagami in Presque Isle, near the shores of Lake Huron between Alpena and Rogers City. The state-licensed camp has dormitory-style cabins, a dining hall, and toilet and shower facilities. Meals are all prepared by a qualified cook and served right in the dining hall.
