(Palisade, MN) — The Long Lake Conservation Center has launched a scholarship program with the hopes of children being able to attend nature school field trips or summer adventure camps.

Nature 4 Kids is a scholarship fundraising campaign that runs through the end of the year and will ask individuals, businesses, and civic organizations to donate. These scholarships will directly allow children in need to experience nature, as well as offset costs for budget-strapped schools.

The scholarships will also allow students to attend Long Lake Conservation Center to attend outdoor adventure camps, daylong excursions, or traditional three-day, two night immersive nature school field trips. These field trips are active, hands-in-the-dirt, hiking, digging, skiing, connect-with-your-world explorations of nature and our role in it.

For those that would like to donate to Long Lake Conservation Center, go to www.llcfoundation.org/scholarships, or contact Long Lake at 218-768-4653.
