Americor

Young Adult crew

May - July 2019 • Eugene, OR

What I liked

The outdoors and the constant boots on the ground work that I got to do. I traveled to three different states (Idaho, Oregon, and Washington State), while interacting with people all over the country. At one point we got to pick apples for a historic Orchard in the North Cascades National Park, then drive down to Oregon Caves two weeks later to work. You also get a lot of conservation experience like: Fire reduction, invasive species removal, thinning, restoration, and a ton of other experiences .

What I wish was different

The Packing list was a bit misleading , definitely make sure if you are going to be in a front country crew or back-country crew. There will be a huge difference how you will pack. Also a little hint for future people that may do this re-water proof your tent before you head out there.

Advice

If you don't like camping for two months straight, or the lack of showers daily bothers you pass it up. other than that I high recommend working for Americorp, specifically Northwest Youth Corps division.
