Earth Camp is partnering with University of Michigan’s Wolverine Pathways and will not be accepting outside applications.
In-person Earth Camp for rising 11th graders occurs in July.
Earth Camp is a residential program. Students will stay in dorms on campus and in hotels when traveling. Students will need to provide transportation to and from Ann Arbor at the beginning and end of the session – although if this is a problem, our staff can help with transportation.
Earth Camp is a 3-summer-long program. The first summer, for current ninth grade students, takes place at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor campus and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The second summer takes place on Mackinac Island, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, and Marquette and Houghton, Michigan. The third summer takes place in Wyoming at Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Students must complete the first summer of Earth Camp to be eligible for the next two summer experiences.
Our second summer of Earth Camp is open to current 10th grade students, who will be entering 11th grade in the upcoming Fall. This week-long experience takes place at the University of Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes National
Lakeshore. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, there is no cost to attend Earth Camp.
Stops include:
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
- Mackinac Island
- Tahquamenon Falls State Park
- Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
- Presque Isle State Park
- Ishpeming, MI
