With the first week of Michigan Tech’s Summer Youth Programs (SYP) less than a month away, spots are filling fast—but registration is still open for many courses. In the College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science (CFRES), outreach coordinator Sierra Williams is looking forward to getting into the labs and out into the woods with middle- and high-school-aged students who are excited to learn about natural resources.
“Students are drawn to these courses due to the time they spend exploring the outdoors, while learning about how the ecosystems function around them through hands-on and field-based activities,” said Williams, whose background includes training in outdoor education.
Under her guidance, students will explore the wild and wonderful world of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula through field trips and projects.
