The Native American Fish & Wildlife Society (NAFWS) is proud to announce the National Summer Youth Practicum (SYP) scheduled for July 29-August 2, 2-19 or August 5-August 9, 2019 at Camp Chaparral on the Yakama Nation reservation in Yakama, Washington. The National Summer Youth Practicum's goal is to welcome incoming 10th, 11th, and 12th grade Native American students who are interested in the preservation, protection, and enhancement of natural resources within their own tribe and community. The program provides an academic experience in a tribal environment. During the program, students will spend their time at Camp Chaparral participating in classroom sessions, field education, recreational activities, field trips, traditional methods, and, most important, interaction with students their own age from various tribes and states. A unique aspect of the program is the use of Native American professionals who are active in the field and, even more important, the invaluable teachings from Tribal Elders. The application is included. Thank you for your interest and please contact us for more information, please email or call: Sasha Hoskie, NAFWS, (303) 931-8871, This email address is being protected from spambots.
