The Camp Committee is looking to recruit both a chair and members to organize and plan BC Nature Camps.  Do you enjoy being an organizer?  Then this is the volunteer position for you!

BC Nature camps are highly anticipated and enjoyed by BC Nature members, they provide fun,  informative and educational nature outings. They also provide an opportunity for camaraderie through the social aspect of the our multi-day/night camps.

The camps can also lead to increased involvement by members and generally raise funds for our education and conservation activities.  The financial gains from being a host club can be lucrative for both BC Nature and the host club.
