Van Riper, UNO coordinator. “ W e’re
excited about the opportunity to
ignite their interest and encourage
them to pursue o u td o o r o p p ortuni­
ties through school, fam ily, com m u­
nity groups and even careers. O ur
hope is that U N O participants will
turn their initial excitem ent into a
lifelong interest in the natural w orld.”
Prior to the overnight, children
attend tw o orientation classes to
learn tracking, w ildlife observation
skills and the “ Leave N o T race”
c am p in g p h ilo so p h y , w h ich are
used during their cam ping ex p eri­
ence. C am pers arrive at the over­
night ready to learn how to set up
tents and build a cam psite. A fter
activities that include sw im m ing and
solo hikes, they m ake dinner, set o ff
on a night hike and then return to
cam p for s ’m ores around the cam p ­
fire. In the m orning, they prepare
breakfast on cam p stoves, learn m ore
about local w ildlife from naturalists
and park rangers, and clean up the
cam psite before going hom e.
Since 2000, U N O has taken m ore
than 3,000 children on cam ping trips
and provided after-school p rogram ­
m ing for m ore than 400 youths. The
program received the A ssociation
