Summary
Casie developed and implemented a gardening curriculum, advocated for composting at Camp Fiver, and developed and implemented an onsite camping program. Through these programs, youth participants at Camp Fiver had the opportunity to expand their knowledge of environmental sustainability and become stewards of the environment.
