Student Camp
a course to develop undergraduates' skills for team work and leadership in plant conservation
This course complements undergraduate education with additional practical skills in research methods, botany, ecology, and conservation.
A series of competitions, games, interviews, and other creative learning activities are employed to provide future conservationists with a skill set for team work, leadership, and critical thinking.
The Student Camp contributes to expanding students' understanding of conservation by establishing connections between conservation and other areas of knowledge that are essential for delivering successful conservation outcomes.
