Great Opportunity for NH Youth!
NH Natural Leaders Environmental Camp discounted for NH Resident Teens
New Hampshire teens with an interest in the environment have an unusual opportunity this summer - a chance to work with scientists, see what a career in natural resources would be like, and hike and camp in New Hampshire's great outdoors.  Thanks to generous benefactors, the cost of the NH Natural Leaders Program, an environmental leadership program that includes a two-week residential camp this summer, is now just $500 (including room and board) for New Hampshire resident youth between the ages of 13-17.  The summer camp, based out of Kimball Union Academy in Meridan, N.H., runs July 19-August 1, 2009. 
 
To apply, print and complete the application found at http://www.wildnh.com/ChildrenInNature/Natural_Leaders_app_09.pdf and return with your payment by July 10. 
 
All New Hampshire resident youth who attend will receive the discounted price of $500. (For youth who are not NH residents, the session costs $2.200.)  For more information, call 603-469-2000 and ask for Tom Lord.
