Inspiring Young Minds Through Climate Education

This summer, the Climate Learning Hub proudly sponsored the 2026 Summer Climate Camp! We were thrilled to once again partner with our incredible contractor, Bill Becker! Bill is an inspiring middle school teacher from Ronan who led another unforgettable season of hands-on learning.

This year, the camp was held at the three Boys and Girls Clubs on the Flathead Indian Reservation, located in Polson, Ronan, and St. Ignatius, Montana and reached over 300 students. Thanks to Bill’s engaging curriculum, youth from all three communities experienced a new topic, activity, and learning adventure each day. Subjects included watersheds, drones, the SKQ Dam, soils, and pollinators.

We extend our deepest thanks to Bill Becker for his passion and dedication over the past four years, delivering exceptional programming to the students of the Flathead Reservation. We're also incredibly grateful to:

• The local schools for opening their doors and providing essential support like facilities and transportation,

• The Boys and Girls Clubs for welcoming us into your spaces and allowing us to work with your amazing students, and

• The Waverley Street Foundation and the Mirador Foundation for their generous support.

Together, we're empowering the next generation of environmental stewards and community leaders.
