Summer 2020 Mentee APPLICATION
|
|
We are now accepting applications for the summer Kevin Dammen Mentorship program! This program is open to students 13 years of age or older. The Kevin Dammen Mentorship Program started as a memorial to an outgoing young man who loved the outdoors and helped support his community in many ways. Today, our program continues as a way to help youth develop their passions and grow their personal and professional skills. Mentees may help with and participate in a variety of activities, including our summer adventure classes, programs, canoe/kayak rental, etc. If you would like to read letters from past mentees, click here.
Applications are due by 5 pm on Thursday, May 7. [Download an application here] or stop in to the nature center and pick one up at the front desk. Please contact us at 507-437-7519 or info@hormelnaturecenter.org with questions. |

News Release
We wish to thank The Hormel Foundation for its generous support of the Jay C. Hormel Nature Center. We learned recently that The Hormel Foundation will again be investing $40,000 in the environmental education of students from Austin and Mower County. Additionally, they are funding the creation of a master plan for the Jay C. Hormel Nature Center. This is an integral step towards receiving a “Regionally Significant Park” designation from the Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission. With the help of The Hormel Foundation, the Jay C. Hormel Nature Center continues to grow towards the future.
