Opportunities for Youth
|
There are many volunteer opportunities at Tryon Creek for youths both inside the nature center and outdoors in the park. These can range from assistant counselor positions during our summer Nature Day Camp to youth group Ivy pulls throughout the year. All minors under age 18 must have a legal parent or guardian sign a minor consent form allowing their child to participate in a volunteer project.
Children under age 16 must be accompanied by a supervising adult> Youth Groups Youth groups usually participate in ivy pulls. Children participating in a school-sponsored activity during school hours, scout groups and some others may be exempt from signing the minor consent form.
While we are flexible and can accomodate most groups, we do have restrictions to assure that the volunteer experience is as positive and successful as possible. Regretably, we are not able to meet every group's needs.
All chaperones are expected to participate fully in the volunteer activity, and are responsible for the behavior and supervision of underage participants.
Chaperones and children should dress for the weather and wear clothes appropriate for the activity. |
