Audubon Naturalists in Training "ANTS" for Summer Camps

Permission/Emergency Forms and gear list available at this link: Download Parent Packet. Please bring your completed forms with you to training.

ANTs, short for Audubon-Naturalists-in-Training, is for teens entering Grade 7 or higher in the fall who love to be outside and work with children. ANTS assist our Outdoor Discovery Camp staff in leading our day camp of nature exploration, trail hikes, games, and crafts for kids ages 5-12.

All ANTS, new and returning, attend this 1-day, 4-hour training course (10am to 2 pm), and commit to at least 30 hours of service during this summer's Explorer, Pathfinder and Trailblazer day camps which take place all summer. Attend this ANTS training at BFNR regardless of which property you choose to serve. Join the ANTS program by signing up for this training session. Questions and preferences for which camps you want to help with may be directed to Scott, sdetwiler@aswp.org.  FREE with commitment to volunteer. 

Returning ANTS: Please sign up here. If you absolutely cannot make the June 11 training, contact Scott for options.

New for 2026: Expanded number of camp weeks! Offers to do a second week of volunteering welcome!
