Conservation Camps Still Have Openings

The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department says there are still openings in its Green Mountain Conservation Camp summer camp program for 12 to 14 year olds that want to learn about Vermont's wildlife and gain outdoor skills.

The one-week camp program is held at two locations -- Lake Bomoseen in Castleton and Buck Lake in Woodbury.


Campers participate in hands-on learning experiences about fish and wildlife conservation, ecology, forestry, orienteering, safe firearm and archery techniques, swimming, canoeing, fishing and more in an attractive outdoor setting.


Conservation Camps open June 21 and continue until August 21. Tuition is $250 for the week, including food, lodging and equipment.
