The Wildlife Leadership Academy is now accepting applications for the 2013 Field Schools, a five day camp for Pennsylvania students ages 14-17 that will forever change the way they see the outdoors.

Youth spend the week exploring their passions with teens from all over the state, learning how to protect the legacy of our wildlife for years to come.

Guided by the state's top biologists, professionals and sportsmen, each Field School introduces them to biology, habitat and conservation issues that impact a single species.

White-tailed deer will be the focus of the Pennsylvania Bucktails field school (June 18-22, Stone Valley Recreation Area in Huntingdon County).

Brook trout and freshwater fisheries will be center stage at Pennsylvania Brookies field school (July 9-13, Sieg Conference Center in Clinton County).

Students receive hands-on training in nature, interact directly with wildlife professionals, learn the newest research and technology in the field, discover the beauty of the outdoors, and develop key leadership skills.

By the end of the field school they are inspired and empowered - ready to begin their future as a conservation ambassador in their home community.
