BCWF Go Wild – Youth for Conservation
For full information: https://bcwf.bc.ca/go-wild/
Learn… Practice… Lead!
Go Wild gives youth hands-on opportunities to develop outdoor and leadership skills they will use throughout their lives. This program will take 15 conservation-minded youth (between the ages of 12-17) and transform them into conservation leaders over the course of 9 days.
Applications are OPEN until June 15th!
The program will have 3 phases:
- PHASE 1 (days 1-3): Leadership and Teamwork
- PHASE 2 (days 4-6): Bushcraft and Wildlife Management Ethics
- PHASE 3 (days 7-9): Conservation Project Management
Throughout the camp we will have visiting industry professionals speak to campers about their field of expertise. Campers will have the opportunity to interact with these professionals in order to learn more about how to pursue careers in related fields. Go Wild participants will be given the option to apply and join the Young Conservationist Scholarship Program and complete their own start-to-finish conservation project in their communities with the chance to win a $1,000 scholarship. Our Youth Program staff will offer ongoing support for campers’ projects.
