What is Conservation Camp?
Conservation Camp provides positive educational outdoor experiences, helps foster appreciation and understanding of nature, and introduces a variety of opportunities in natural resources and conservation careers. Professionals from various natural resource and conservation agencies present programs on topics like wildlife, habitat, ecosystems, water quality, fisheries, forestry, and conservation career information.  These professionals, as well as adult volunteers, serve as overnight staff and group leaders for the duration of camp.
