Youth Backcountry Camps!
Hey Friends!
Last week, SNJ kicked off a new and exciting summer backpacking program called Youth Backcountry Camps. We have partnered up with the Tahoe Rim Trail Association in this venture and we had a blast! Our first program was an all female group composed of some new friends and some of our old friends from our Wonderous Woman of Science program. Check it out:
Here we are clearing some trail! It was a long afternoon, but we managed to clear 225 feet of trail in just 4 hours!
Some of us made new friends of sorts….
And some of us hung out with old friends!
We have another YBC coming up next week and then we will be heading out to Lamoille Caynon to help facilitate a teachers conference!
Go Play Outside!

Something you should know about me:
I was first introduced to Sierra Nevada Journeys as an undergraduate student. I participated in several workshops during my time as a student. After graduation I was hired to work on our campus in Portola, CA. At the end of the summer I joined the staff in the Reno office as an Experiential Educator. I enjoy working with SNJ for the opportunity to work with a variety of student populations and the chance to teach curriculum focusing on scientific concepts. The work environment is always positive and encouraging. My role at SNJ is providing me with numerous opportunities and tools to accomplish my personal and
caeegoals.
