Landmark Volunteers, a national nonprofit service organization, is seeking student volunteers for two-week stints in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area from July 18-31.
Depending on the weather and the needs of the U.S. Forest Service, students might spend a few days camping in the backcountry, cutting new hiking trails, restoring areas in recreation sites, building log fences or cleaning campsites. Time is allowed at the end of the day for swimming, fishing and hiking. An experienced adult team leader will supervise the group at all times and will live with the students in log-style guest houses in Stanley.
Landmark provides summer community service opportunities for students who have completed their ninth, 10th or 11th grades.
The tax-deductible contribution for the program is $350 if application is received by April 1, and $450 for those postmarked after April 1. Scholarships are available.
