| National Capital Chapter Safari Club International |
The National Capital Chapter has awarded 26
scholarships that enable teachers to attend the
American Wilderness Leadership School in
Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Thanks to SCI
members and to the SCI Foundation, over 10
million young people have learned from more
than 4,000 educators trained at the Wyoming
AWLS facility in environmental and conservation
education. In week long programs, these
educators are enriched by field activity,
including outdoor education lesson plans, plant
identification, map and compass use, firearm
safety, fly tying, survival training, and archery.
They also meet with experts trained in wildlife
management and conservation. Additional
AWLS programs for teachers are offered in
Maine, Minnesota and Iowa with all AWLS
programs available for graduate credit.
Kin Comrie, a recent graduate had this to say:
"The leaders of the “AWLS” program and their
frenetic energy and enthusiasm proved to be my
motivation. We were presented classes in
photography, fly tying & fly fishing, orienteering,
rock climbing, sport shooting, survival and
“Safari in a Box,” just to name a few interactive
resources that would entice any student or
adult. Additionally, each and every day we were
instructed by guest speakers who specialized in
range management, wildlife biology, Wyoming
game and fisheries, the elk refuge, and fire
management.
As the week concluded I realized that I had been
provided everything I needed to begin my task. I
had acquired sixteen pounds of great “outdoor”
educational nuggets and an abundance of
resources for my classroom. It is my
responsibility from this point on to educate
children not just about music but about their
world around them." full story & photos
