(Entering 7th, 8th, 9th grade in fall 2010)

This specially designed program for youth entering 7th-9th grade in the fall of 2010 combines leadership development, science education, and environmental stewardship into one exceptional experience!  Selected participants will increase their leadership skills and put them into practice within our summer camp program, educating and inspiring others about our planet.

This program is an excellent opportunity to develop and demonstrate leadership, responsibility, independent decision-making skills, teaching skills, and science knowledge.

Successful participants have continued their growth within our Leaders in Training program, gained valuable experience that has helped them in their school and personal development, and gone on to be successful environmental stewards and educators here at the Museum and in the community.
