"Turning the Tides" is for teens ages 14-18 that are serious about becoming leaders
for positive change in our Northwest environment. Too often youth can feel overwhelmed
and burdened by the plight of the environment surrounding us. During this program we'll
provide participants with the tools to assist them in organizing, motivating, and leading
other students, as well as planning service projects. We'll also examine the marine 
environment in order to better understand the unique aquatic ecosystem of the Pacific
Northwest. Participants will be empowered as they enjoy the beautiful resources around
us and gain knowledge of what they can do to help protect them!

Participants in this program will:
	*  Acquire leadership skills
	*  Learn about the marine environment
	*  Build relationships with other YESC students
	*  Be challenged!
	*  Be empowered!

Although you do not need previous experience in a YMCA Earth Service Corps program, being an
environmental enthusiast is a plus. We'll spend the first part of the program at Camp Orkilla
on Orcas Island. The second part of the program will be spent on the seas, kayaking to different
islands and camping outdoors overnight. Particpants will learn basic kayaking and camping skills,
so previous experience is not required.

Schedule:
	July 11-14: Leadership Training at Camp Orkilla
	July 14-18: Kayaking and Camping in the San Juan Islands
	July 18-21: Closure at Camp Orkilla and return home

Program Fee: $675*
The fee covers land and ferry transportation from Seattle, lodging, meals and all activities.

*If you cannot afford the full cost please ask for a confidential scholarship application when
you pre-register. Financial assistance, to the extent possible, is available to those in need.
YESC will also assist participants in finding fundraising activities to help offset program fees.

If you wish to participate in this event then please stop by Mr. Shepherd's room (#112) and pick
up a pre-register form.
