YCC Crews

Youth Conservation Corps (YCC)

A great summer job for local high school - aged students, the YCC work for two months in the park helping maintain trails, control exotic weeds, and improve park facilities. At the same time, they learn about the outdoors, first aid, wildlife, caving safety, and a variety of other subjects. It is fun, enriching, character-building hard work! More >>>
