The Montana Natural Resources Youth Camp (MNRYC) is a non-profit that brings 40+ high school students from across the state of Montana to a week-long overnight camp in the Blackfoot Valley near Missoula.  Students spend a week each July learning about water, wildlife, soils, range, and forestry.  In 2012, the Coalition is partnering with the Camp to help teach the advanced Conservation Leadership School curriculum, which engages return campers (between the ages of 16-18 years old) in an advanced program of natural resource problem-solving skills.
