[MCN] Summer Opportunities for Middle and High School Students

[Rachel Garwin]

Hi Missoula Community,

June is fast approaching, and as the days grow longer, our excitement for
our summer field ecology courses
<https://ecologyproject.box.com/s/2s1rvoh7ykgnf0q3hs8hv4czzljnityn> is
blooming! Here in Ecology Project International's Yellowstone Program, that
means waking to morning mist along the Yellowstone River, days of sunshine
and green grass in the Lamar Valley, and nights camping under the stars.

Ecology Project International’s mission is to improve and inspire science
education and conservation efforts worldwide through field-based
student-scientist partnerships. For students in Montana, Idaho, and
Wyoming, we offer 5-day field science programs where our participants
work directly
with passionate researchers from the National Park Service on a wildlife
study with direct management impacts for the communities these students
live in!

EPI students protect threatened species and habitat while creating memories
and building relationships that last a lifetime. You can read more about
our program at www.epiyellowstone.org.

If you have (or know) a kid of middle or high school age who might be
interested in exploring the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem through hands-on
service learning and discovery, we have three 5-day course dates available:

   - *May 16-20 (high school) *
   - *July 9-13 (middle school)*
   - *July 27-31 (middle school)*

This year we also have the rare opportunity to include Montana, Idaho, and
Wyoming students on our longer courses geared toward students from around
the country. These are 9-day courses and include more research
opportunities as well as whitewater rafting. Available dates are as follows:

   - *June 13-21 (high school)*
   - *July 11-19 (high school)*

Please contact adam at ecologyproject.org for more information and to enroll.
