Natural Resources Careers Camp (NRCC)

This seven-day camp is designed for high school students. County Forestry Boards recruit and interview potential students from their counties. The cost of attending the camp is $575, however the GCFB will cover the cost for Garrett County students. The student/family must put up $100 deposit, which is returned upon the student's successful completion of the camp.

 

Students who have reached the age of 16 by the first day of NRCC week may choose to earn two college credits from Allegany College of Maryland by attending the entire week and complete an exam (additional fee applies for course credit). The credits will transfer to most community colleges in Maryland and several four year colleges and universities.

 

Natural resource professionals have developed the extensive and relevant curriculum. Student will learn about traditional forestry, GIS and GPS technology, urban forestry, wildlife habitat, fisheries, watershed ecology and more! This co-educational camp provides an opportunity for high school students interested in a career in Natural Resources to learn from industry professionals and develop contacts for future employment and a career in natural resources.
