Residential Community

Fellows reside at Conserve School, a semester school near Land O' Lakes, Wisconsin, for the 4 semesters of the program. As residential life staff, fellows have an integral role in maintaining and improving the Conserve School community, living in houses that include staff apartments and student dorm wings. Each person in the community contributes to the diversity of the residential setting, bringing enrichment from individual traits, heritage, skills, and interests.

Working with house parents, fellows provide supervision, support, mentoring, and program leadership to the high-school-aged students who participate in Conserve School's semester program.


2-3 fellows share a well-appointed apartment, including a kitchen, a living room with gas fireplace, and private bedrooms with 2 1/2 shared baths. Apartments are furnished with beds, desks and chairs, a dining table and chairs, and a few pieces of living room furniture. Meals are provided in the Conserve School dining room when semester student programs are in session.


In addition, fellows have access to a range of recreational equipment and opportunities on the Conserve School campus and beyond, including:

  • Aerobic and strength training equipment
  • Climbing wall
  • Outdoor equipment (i.e. skis, snowshoes, kayaks, bicycles)
  • Groomed winter sports trails
  • Hiking trails
  • Lakes
