Environmental Camp Instructors needed

The City of Jackson's Solid Waste Division, Keep Mississippi Beautiful/PAL, and Keep Jackson Beautiful, Inc. are sponsoring the 2003 Environmental Camp. The camp seeks to raise environmental awareness in our local children through hands-on activities during this summer's Environmental Camp.

During this fun-packed, informative three days, students will enjoy classroom activities teaching them about solid waste management and its effect on people, animals and the environment, nature trails, fishing, boating, a petting zoo and other hands-on activities. A camp t-shirt, lunch and snacks will be provided free of charge.

Some of the objectives of the camp are:

To promote environmental awareness; To help youth acquire knowledge, information and skills to assist in making informed, responsible decisions regarding solid waste management and its effect on people, animals and the environment; and To encourage waste reduction, recycling, composting and proper waste disposal.
