Abstract

In the Summer 2025, I joined the Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association (NSEA) as a Camp Educator Intern for their program Camp Keystone. Bringing environmental education to life for children ages 3-6. Over nine weeks, I helped design and lead hands-on, nature-based activities driven by campers curiosity, weaving their interests into and emergent curriculum. Through stories, games, and creative projects, I introduced preschoolers to the five species of Pacific salmon and guided them through the salmon lifecycle. Rooted in NSEA’s mission of salmon recovery, my role as Camp Educator combined early childhood education with environmental awareness, fostering both wonder and awareness for the next generation.
