2010-2011 School Year Program goes well!
We are two months into our School Year Program and everyone is having a great time! We've visited Camp Cho-Yeh, Sheldon Lake State Park and the Baytown Nature Center, camped in tents and cabins, built a bridge, installed some check steps, cleared a trail and pulled invasive species! Of course, we've all learned a lot about the environment as well and have made good friends!
Keep an eye on this website, as info about the Summer Program, as well as the applications, will be coming up on here shortly!
Applications are now closed!
We've received a good number of applications for this year's School Year Program, but the applications are now closed. Crew Member selections have already begun and should be finished this week. If you applied and are wondering about the status of your application, you can contact Andy Janes at 713.520.1835 or ajanes@thesca.org, but you will be contacted soon either way.
Thanks you!
