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!
