On the Wild Side
Next Meeting: Thursday, March 4, 2010
7:00 pm at the Sacramento County 4-H Office
On the Wild Side is a part of the Cooperative Extension 4-H Youth Development Program whose purpose is to bring environmental education and an outdoor living experience to fourth, fifth, and sixth grade children who have limited opportunity to explore wild places or sleep under the stars. Young participants are expected to grow in their knowledge and understanding of the natural world, expand their appreciation for conservation and environmental stewardship, and develop an enthusiasm for nature and outdoor experiences.
The weekend programs take place at a camp facility in Nevada City where children participate in a variety of outdoor education activities drawn from Project Wild, Project Aquatic Wild, and Project Learning Tree curricula.
Through training and empowering teenagers as program leaders, the project also increas
es feelings of service and environmental stewardship in those young people delivering the program. Teens attend monthly staff meetings, a day-long training session, a weekend retreat, while working in teams to plan and deliver program components. High school students seeking a meaningful way to connect with and serve are invited to apply for a staff position.
