Join us for our 2025 Water Hole Project in Arizona!
Who Benefits from Wildlife Conservation, and why?
The Alliance for Wildlife & Conservation will send 12 youth and 4 chaperones to attend a waterhole project in the remote Arizona mountains to gain a greater appreciation for conservation and natural resources. The camp affords the selected youth a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience and knowledge in a natural setting.
To select the 12 youth, we will conduct an essay contest on the theme, "who benefits from wildlife conservation and why." AWC encourages youth between the ages of 14-18 years to enter our essay contest to be eligible for an all-expense paid educational trip to help build a waterhole.
The lucky winners of the essay contest are provided with air transportation from the Minneapolis Airport to the nearest airport in Arizona, group transportation to camp, return flight, equipment, supplies, meals, and tents are provided.
