The REC is seeking people interested in leading children ages 9-16 through 2 hour outdoor curriculum focused on environmental issues. The volunteers would be teaching small classes topics including: wetland conservation, bat monitoring, canoeing, kayaking, geo-caching, herpetology, vermi-composting, plant identification, and wild-crafting. These courses have been developed by experts, reviewed by educators, and are designed to be presented by non-experts. Expect to learn something new each day without feeling overwhelmed or lost in the topics.

The REC would like volunteers to go through the curriculum and observe one class to ensure that they feel comfortable with the material and their environs.
