Do you like the outdoors? Would you like to learn about conserving fields, forests, water, and wildlife? Would you like to make a difference in conservation efforts? Penn State's Conservation Leadership Schools are one-week outdoor workshops for high school students interested in natural resource management, conservation, and exploring solutions to environmental problems.

Penn State's Conservation Leadership Schools are like no school you've been to before! You'll be learning about the world around you by exploring that world--in forests and fields, in streams, and on lakes. It's your ideal school where the classroom includes over 700 acres of forest, fields, wetlands, and streams. Where learning about the environment goes hand-in-hand with having fun, meeting new friends, and learning leadership skills. If this is your ideal school, then Penn State's one-week program for high school students just might be for you. Take the opportunity to view a video about last year's CLS at www.greenworks.tv/tvshow/education/environcamps.asp.

To attend CLS, you should have a genuine interest in conservation and the environment. You must be 15 to 18 years old and must have completed ninth grade. CLS isn't a recreational summer camp, although lots of fun is definitely on the agenda! It's a RE-creation experience, leading you to learn, to live, and to think critically about sustaining our environment.
