CELP is a 4 credit environmental leadership program. As a community of 26, students have a field camp experience, teach grade fives, take their Science, Civics and Careers courses in the context of environmental issues and form lasting friendships over community meals.
“An important thing to me about CELP is it gives me the freedom to bring my heart into my education, and in doing so I discover more about myself.”
