NatureBridge is seeking participants for its summer backpacking programs in Yosemite and Olympic national parks. Enrollment is open for students entering 7th-12th grade.

Each summer, NatureBridge leads one- and two-week environmental science programs through some of the United States’ most beautiful protected lands.

Participants build leadership skills, conduct hands-on field science projects, and explore spectacular wilderness while backpacking with their peers. Led in small groups by experienced NatureBridge educators, students will use science to gain a deeper understanding of their natural surroundings and learn the basics of backpacking and backcountry travel.

NatureBridge summer backpacking programs foster a deep connection to nature and empower students to become environmental stewards and leaders in their community. Past NatureBridge summer backpacking experiences have contributed to students’ school capstone projects, college essays and job resumes.

One-week programs are available for middle school students. High school students may choose between one- and two-week programs. No backpacking experience is necessary. Pricing options and financial assistance are available.

Early registration is encouraged as programs are first come, first served and sessions do sell out. Students and parents who are interested can contact Katie Draude, NatureBridge Summer Programs Manager, at 415-598-9832 or [email protected]. Learn more and enroll online at naturebridge.org/summerbackpacking.
