Teachers and students spend a week at Camp Esther Applegate, on Lake of the Woods near Klamath Falls, Oregon, learning about the diverse natural resources that make up an ecosystem.

Participants spend their days on field trips and hands-on outdoor activities learning about natural resource disciplines, such as forestry, fisheries, wildlife, range, riparian, geology, recreation, wilderness, and cultural resources. There is also time for outdoor recreation activities and special evening programs.

At the end of the week, new-found knowledge and team building skills are combined as students and teachers develop and present a land management plan.

You will get high school credit, college and career counseling, and have fun! FUN! FUN!

RAP Camp is for teachers too!
