Are there any high school summer programs where you travel somewhere to help the environment?

The Smithsonian and the Sierra Club both have programs like this.  You need to contact your local Sierra Club and ask them.  There is usually a charge for food and lodging.\n\nYou could also ask at your high school councilor for a summer program.

I don't know how close you are to Southern Illinois University Carbondale, but their Touch of Nature Environmental center has an outside ceremony spot in the trees and an inside reception hall (good if it rains!) their site has some pictures.

Ohh, i was actually considering that in high school, some guys from it came to talk to my AP physics class last year to get us to enroll.  I really like physics, but wasnt sure of a stable career in it so that program was kind of appealing.  If it's the Nuclear Power Program that they came to talk to us about, basically you control the nuclear reactors on submarines, so yes, you have to go out to sea a lot, but you won't really be in direct battle, you'll be working with the nuclear power that makes the sub work while the other people on the sub shoot missles at things.  You'll travel a lot to other countries and stuff.  They pay for your college, and you can go anywhere you want that you get accepted to, then you go to their college, i forget where to get the nuclear power training for a year.  Personally, I decided not to do it because you are always traveling and in strange places.  It would be nice to see the world, but it would be impossible to settle down because you are gone for weeks and weeks at a time and only get to be home a few days before you depart again.  That's all I know about it, good luck.

I assume you have already done a web search on "high school summer intern" and added some location geographic information (e.g. Boston or GA)\n\nYou should look into the Government Intern programs. We hired some high school students last summer. The problem is you should apply early. I know that one organization was talking about  extending their deadline until Mar 15. You might need to apply in Jan or Feb for some of there programs.\n\nThe USDA progam does not really apply but it may in two years and I thought it would have been cool job.

Yes, one summer in Mexico, and one summer in Spain for college credit through Texas Tech University, Dept. of Classical and Modern Languages and Literatures.\n\nHowever, if you are not interested in college credit, I will tell you some good things to look for.  Make sure you get a program that does home stay.  Make sure that they guarantee that nobody in the household speaks English.  I had a friend who ended up spending a summer tutoring the family's kids in English which would have been fine if they hadn't been charging him room and board to help him with his Spanish.  If they put you in a dorm with a bunch of other foreigners, then you will only speak English with your classmates.  Make sure that you know if meals, sheets, and laundry are included.  Two meals a day and laundry are pretty standard, but you want to make sure.  Also make sure that is a limit on how many students stay in the house.  You don't want to stay in a house with six English speakers.  Two is the usual max, but if you feel confident, being the only student is better, although that is hard to find. \n\nLook for schools that are a little off the beaten path.  If you go to a language school at a beach resort, everyone speaks English, and again you won't get as much out of it. \n\nThe more you know before you go, the more you will learn while you are there.  My college required that we have at least four semesters before we went and I came back fluent after five weeks.  I had a friend who went for an entire summer without having taken a class beforehand and came back only knowing how to say, "Good evening, I would like a glass of red wine."\n\nAlso the longer you stay the better.  Anything less than two weeks is a waste of time. \n\nGood luck.

If the show is appropriate you could do some sort of warm-up event at a few local high schools to garner interest.

I've heard UCLA has a good program; one of the Marine Science Academy teachers at my old school took a program there. But also UC Santa Barbara, since it has the additional benefit of being right next to a beach. Also UC San Diego, I think.

Yes, colleges and universities have information packages they send out to prospective students.  Often you can request them on line.  Most universities now have websites that describe their programs so that may be a good place for you to start.  Talk to the guidance counselor at your high school and you may find an excellent source of advice there.  Best of luck.

Yes, there are several. I suggest you talk to your local Department of Fish and Wildlife. We had numerous such programs where I grew up in Alaska. I also suggest that you attend a program like Upward Bound.
