Auburn Conservation Corps Summer Camp

July 17-July 20, 2023
9:00am-2:30pm

The NEW Auburn Conservation Corps Summer Camp is a service program to provide youth experiences in environmental resource conservation. Beginning with a summer program at Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES, students can learn about outdoor careers in arboriculture, forestry, watershed management, utilities management, soil conservation, wetland delineation, stream health monitoring, and wildlife habitat restoration through practical, hands-on experience. Auburn Conservation Corps Summer Camp will be modeled on the premise that young people can participate in their own personal growth by working for the enhancement of their communities. 

These practical outdoor activities will introduce students to conservation professions and provide a bridge to gainful employment through occupational modeling:

• Field Work Activities

• Tree Planting and Care 

• Measure and Assess Tree Canopy

• Identify and Manage Invasive Plants

• Trail Construction and Maintenance

• Stream Monitoring and Restoration

This camp aims to engage and enrich young people through educational, civic-minded, hands-on experiences in outdoor natural resource conservation that will serve their communities by improving the social and natural environment. 

Open to 11-13 year olds within the nine component Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES school districts.  It is also a great way for students to earn community services credits for school organizations

Limited to 10 campers for this Summer of 2023 pilot year.

Deadline to enroll is July 3, 2023
