VERMONT – For children 12 to 14 years old who want to learn about Vermont’s wildlife and gain outdoor skills, registration is open for sessions of the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department’s Green Mountain Conservation Camps this summer.
The one-week camp programs are held at Lake Bomoseen in Castleton and Buck Lake in Woodbury. Campers participate in hands-on learning about fish and wildlife conservation, ecology, forestry, orienteering, safe firearm and archery techniques, swimming, canoeing, fishing and more. Natural resource professionals come to the camp to share information on their programs and take campers out for field activities.
Advanced sessions will be available for campers who have completed a basic session in a previous summer and who are 16 years old or younger. Advanced sessions include more in-depth activities about backpacking, camping, natural resources, and unique hunting and fishing techniques.”
Conservation Camps open June 22 and continue until August 22. Tuition includes food, lodging and equipment. Financial assistance is available. Information and registration are available at vtfishandwildlife.com. For more information, contact [email protected] or call (802) 522-2925.
