Camp Description:

Footprints is a climate action incubator with a simple, yet effective premise: bring exceptional people together for a week in an immersive natural setting  to live and work together, build meaningful personal connections, and develop business plans to bring participants’ climate action projects to life or accelerate their strategies. Footprints believes that building leaders for climate action from a shared community of passionate people like trail runners multiplies  the impact we can make together.

How it works:

Trail runners apply to Footprints by pitching a potential climate solution to a problem in their home community. Footprints selects a cohort of 18 campers to spend a week at Craftsbury enjoying the trails and roads, and workshopping their projects with knowledgeable mentors who are experts in the fields of environmental science, business, and advocacy. Each camper leaves camp with an actionable plan for their project. The camp culminates with a public race event, the Footprints Trail Run, where campers celebrate and share their climate action plans with the Vermont community. 

The application windows will be open from March 13 - May 5  through the Footprints website.  Successful candidates will be notified by the end of May.
