I will be working at Fish Creek Camp Ground as an Environmental Education Assistant. I am in charge of all the outdoor programs at the park which are free to the campers and they can come participate if they like. Our programs range from fishing programs, nature walks, tree ID books, hiking mountains, pretty much anything a kid would want to do. I sometimes bring out the big kid in the parents by throwing in a game of kickball. I will be doing more fishing as well, along with my capstone.
