THE MCC MISSION

Montana Conservation Corps inspires young people through hands-on
conservation service to be leaders, stewards of the land, and engaged
citizens who improve their communities.

WHAT IS MCC EXPEDITION?

A free summer program that engages students, ages 15-17, in hands on
conservation work and outdoor learning opportunities. It’s a fun way to
spend time outdoors, earn some money ($100 - $200 Service Award), and build
an impressive resume for college or a career in Resource Management through
volunteer experience with public land agencies.

 

·        Each Expedition starts with a one-day orientation covering safety,
camp setup, and Leave No Trace principles.

models to choose from.

thinking about the world around you.
