What will you do?
About 2 hours west of Atlanta, Georgia, about 25 students, ages 13-25, will come together for a weekend of natural exploration, community service, and civic engagement workshops. Learn from conservation leaders how industries are influenced by corporate and citizen lobbyists, how to engage your elected officials in your community campaigns, and dissect the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Organic Act, and Wilderness Act. We'll also take a leap into stream water ecology as we conduct a river sweep. Also, sing, dance, and have a great story-telling and s'mores-eating time.
