Natural Resources Careers Camp

Join high school students from across Maryland at this week-long camp in Garrett County to explore careers and college studies in natural resources! This partnership with Allegany College of Maryland and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources-Forest Service offers high school students a co-educational opportunity to learn from industry professionals and develop contacts that could lead to future employment and a career in natural resources. This year's camp will be held July 19-25, 2020.

Cost to attend the camp is $575, but the Garrett County Forestry Board has scholarship funds available to cover the cost for local students! The student/their family would only need to provide a deposit, which the GCFB returns upon successful completion of the camp. Apply online today!

Students who reach age 16 before the end of NRCC week may choose to earn two college credits from Allegany College of Maryland. Fees for college credit are additional and at the expense of the student/family. To be eligible, students must complete a short exam, and present a team management plan. The two college credits will transfer to most community colleges in Maryland and several four year colleges and universities.
