The Green Mountain Conservation
Camps are Calling, and
She Must Go
By Nicole Meier, Hunter Education Program Coordinator
and Hannah Phelps, Green Mountain Conservation
Camps Coordinator
March 25, 2021 - After over a year of remote learning, we
hear Vermont students are struggling. They want in-person
experiences. They want experienced mentors to teach them.
They want career readiness. They are looking for connection
and a safe place outside of their house and COVID bubble. A
study done in collaboration with the Vermont Department of
Health and the University of Vermont found that youths aged
12 to 17 reported an increase in depressive symptoms and
anxiety in the fall of 2020 compared to the fall of 2019. How
can we get our children out of the house safely, and get them
away from the stress, the screens, and the general struggle the
world is experiencing?
Get them unplugged. Sign them up for a week this summer
at Green Mountain Conservation Camp (GMCC), administered
by the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department.
While GMCC offers summer camp experiences for all children
ages 12-14, each year seems to bring on the challenge of
finding campers to fill the weeks specifically offered for girls.
This rings true again for the upcoming summer sessions.
Summer camps offer plentiful positive opportunities for
adolescent girls, and GMCC is no exception. A week at camp
offers young girls the chance to break out of the norm and help
them to discover who they are on their own terms. GMCC also
offers opportunities to dive into real-world application of science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)
concepts, the ability to learn in-person from mentors, the
chance to develop into young leaders, the possibility of lifelong
friendships, and lots more.
To solve a diversity of challenges in the world, we need a
diversity of problem-solvers. For years we have heard about
the call to action: get more girls involved in STEM! Here is
your chance to get them involved. During their week at
GMCC, campers learn about aquatic ecology, habitat restoration
(science!), population dynamics (science and math!), how
to shoot a bow (engineering and technology!), and a lot more.
And, let’s not forget all of the soft skills such as perseverance,
humility, focus, and cooperation that are learned from hiking,
canoeing, fishing, shelter-building, fire-building, and other
outdoor skills.
Not only do girls get to have fun, but they learn in-person
from real people, not a screen. Campers learn from instructors
and peers alike. Many lifelong friendships come from a week
at GMCC, and girls get the opportunity to see amazing women
in leadership roles. It is not often that a girl sees her instructor
dig her hands into the mud to talk about soil quality, but it is
something memorable for so many young women. In addition,
campers get to meet some incredible male role models on
staff, who set the example for how women should expect to be
treated in the classroom and workplace: with respect and
equity.
With these mentors on staff, the campers are able to take
part in a female-dominated environment that encourages them
to build up and cheer on their peers. This rare opportunity
allows young women to take charge without the fear of social
repercussions and develop themselves as leaders. They are
given formal and informal opportunities to lead throughout
their time at GMCC, from encouraging peers in the background
to actively coaching them through difficult tasks. Campers can
take on as much or as little leadership as they want; some are
content to develop these skills quietly while others are ready to
lead a full camp song or skit. In either instance, girls who thrive
in these areas during their basic and advanced weeks are offered
the opportunity to return as a part of GMCC’s Junior Counselor
(JC) program, which further develops leadership and confidence
in the lives of young women.
You may ask yourself, “How could this opportunity get any
better?” Well buckle up, because the icing on the cake is that
there are still a lot of scholarships/sponsorships available,
meaning the week she spends at camp could be free.
Many of us know well the phrase by famous naturalist John
Muir, “The mountains are calling, and I must go.” As
Vermonters, we may relate to this notion of feeling the need to
get outside, to unplug, to get away from our societal confines
and enjoy the calm of time spent in nature. Our girls are no
different.
However, what many of us may not know is that the commonly
quoted phrase leaves out an important ending. In a
letter to his sister, John Muir says, “the mountains are calling,
and I must go, and I will work on while I can, studying incessantly.”
The full statement is a testament to hard work and learning
more about the natural world while learning more about
yourself. I think we can all take a page out of Muir’s book and
encourage the young women in our lives to do the same. Let’s
do all the learning we can outside this summer; there’s no better
place for it than Green Mountain Conservation Camp.
