Teen Girls 16-18 Can Apply for Camp Wonder Warden this Summer - and it’s FREE!

Camp Wonder Warden is a unique summer leadership and career-exploration program in Alberta designed specifically for teen girls who are interested in the outdoors and protecting wildlife.

It’s a free, overnight camp for girls aged 16–18 with the goal of the program is to introduce participants to careers in conservation law enforcement—especially what it’s like to work as a Fish and Wildlife Officer.

These experiences are designed to help them learn about wildlife protection, environmental responsibility, and the skills needed for enforcement work. The program also emphasizes teamwork, confidence, and personal growth, encouraging participants to see themselves as future leaders in conservation.

Camp Wonder Warden is selective—applicants must submit a written application explaining their interest in conservation and may be invited to an interview. The camp also involves physical outdoor activities, so participants are expected to be reasonably fit and ready to fully engage in all aspects of the program.

Camp Wonder Warden provides young women, ages 16 to 18, the opportunity to explore a career in conservation law enforcement. Campers are educated about the career of an Alberta Fish and Wildlife Officer, inspired to contribute to conservation and empowered to be leaders.

Camp Wonder Warden is a free, overnight summer camp. It will run from August 16-20, 2026, in central Alberta. Applications will be accepted until April 17, 2026. Selected applications will be invited to an online interview.
