Plant a seed! Watch it grow! Apply to be an MiT!

Our Nature Mentor in Training (MiT) Program helps equip students (ages 14-16) to be better leaders and gives them a chance to be immersed in an outdoor agricultural and natural environment with their peers, learn about local ecology, agricultural science and leadership in a hands-on and student-led environment.

​

MiTs will participate in regular camp staff training and join a group of campers at camp while it is in session as a helper. MiTs are older campers collaborate with their group's lead mentor to learn and help other children learn nature connection and agricultural skills, leadership techniques, nature-connection games, and crafts.

 

MITs are committed to their own personal growth and to offering their gifts, skills and talents by leading activities in their peer group as well as in an assigned younger group of campers for part of the day. MiTs are supported throughout the day with regular feedback.
