2nd Annual Hunting Camp for Youth

Join Department of Natural Resources staff and local experts for a two day overnight hunting and trapping camp. This hands-on camp will give participants the chance to learn skills and gain experience in hunting, snaring, and participating in outdoor recreation safely.

Two camps are being offered over March Break with the opportunity to make and learn about setting snares, construct survival kits, practice outdoor cooking and learn the basics of wilderness navigation and interpreting the environment. Day two of camp will have students travelling to the local rifle range to fire long bows, cross bows and 22 rifles. This camp is designed to be hands on with a small class size. Boys and Girls between the ages of 12 and 15 are encouraged to signup; there is a limit of 12 participants so register soon!
