Environmental Service Trip

Are you interested in the environment? Like being outdoors? Enjoy camping? Want to get out of town and meet some new people? If you answered `yes’ to any of these questions, keep reading!!

SIEO will be taking a group of students to Buckhorn State Park in Necedah, Wisconsin during the first weekend in August (7-9). Participants will be spending all day Saturday volunteering at the park. Volunteer activities are weather dependent, but may include things like trail clearing and trimming; staining benches and litter clean up. There will be some down time after volunteering. Buckhorn State Park has volleyball nets, horse-shoes and a lake with canoe and kayak rentals. We’ll be camping out Friday and Saturday night and coming back to Point on Sunday.

The trip cost is $30.00. That covers your transportation, lodging and meals for the trip. Trip participants are encouraged to bring any of their own camping supplies, but they are not required for participation.


Sound like fun? I think so! I can’t wait! This is a great way to do something awesome and meet some people before classes start up in the fall! The Information and Ticket Office will be taking applications until Tuesday, July 21st.

Here’s the SIEO webpage with more information:
