The Ranchers Stewardship Alliance in partnership with Montana State University are excited to host a
5 day FREE summer camp for youth in Malta Montana June 9th through the 13th.
This unique experience is designed to provide youth from rural Montana an opportunity to learn about
geospatial technologies, create maps related to their interests, introduce potential career pathways, think
about community and national scale topics, and explore places in Phillips County with their peers. The
camp will be taught by RSA’s staff, who have a diverse range of skills in working with agriculture,
conservation, wildlife, mapping, ecology, finances, government agencies, and people in Northeastern
Montana.
During this camp, students will get a chance to connect with mapping experts in various fields, learn how
to create their own technical maps based on their interests, utilize GPS and drones, and go on outdoor field
trips around Phillips County. We will start camp each day at 9 am and go until 4 pm unless otherwise
specified. By the end of the camp week, students will have the skills to create their own maps and projects
depending on their interests!
We encourage all students with an interest in the camp to apply that are entering grades 9th through 12th,
and any who have just graduated. This camp is an introduction to mapping and geospatial technologies
and no prior experience is needed to attend this camp! Based on RSA’s capacity, we will be accepting
between 5 and 12 students.
The deadline for filling out this application is by Monday May 12th, and we will inform you of acceptance
decisions by Thursday May 15th. Our selection criteria will prioritize students who are able to have full
attendance at the camp and are motivated to participate.
