Learners will improve their understanding of what scientists do in the field and begin to think like scientists themselves. More importantly, they will be with other kids (and one very enthused adult) who love wild animals and exploring outdoors.

I pursued a career in wildlife science and environmental communications after deciding at 8 years old that I wanted to 'save all the animals'. I know what it feels like to want to DO something from an early age! Kids have so many more options and ideas now and many are ready to make an impact. I have done everything from wildlife field research, to working in environmental education at World Wildlife Fund, the Smithsonian National Zoo and National Audubon Society. It is my hope that I can ignite your learner's interest in getting more involved in nature and wildlife conservation.
