Waterton Lakes National Park, August 23-27
This year's winners of the Get to Know Arts Contest who are age twelve or older will be invited to Art and Nature Camp in Waterton Lakes National Park from August 23-27. These winners will have an opportunity to learn about art, nature, outdoor recreation and environmental leadership. Exposure to professional artists and park mentors will foster critical and creative thinking through project-based inquiry. This year is one of celebration! It is the 10th anniversary of the Get to Know Program, the 125th anniversary of the first national park in Canada (Banff), and the International Year of Biodiversity. We will of course also celebrate the Waterton Glacier International Peace Park.
The camp is specifically for 2009 US Get to Know Contest winners and 2010 Canadian Get to Know Contest Winners, who are at least twelve years old. Thanks to Parks Canada, the camp is completely free for contest winners, although we cannot cover transportation costs (we may be able to provide a bus from nearby major cities; more information will be available later this year).
