A Word About Camp Dates

Except for our third camp (boys and girls) which we have more staff on-hand, we generally limit our camps to around 12 kids. We have found that limiting the number of campers allows for better programming, youth interactions and overall experiences.

Due to our camps increased popularity, we’ve hit our maximum number of campers early each spring, and in recent years, added waiting lists for hopeful campers-to-be.

With that said, the following are a few things to keep in mind when determining a camp date:

If you know upfront that your child cannot attend part of the camp, please choose a different week. We pack so much learning into each week. We typically don’t have the extra staff time available to help a beginning camper get up to speed.
If your child isn’t 100% interested or gung ho about going to a hunting camp, please choose a different kind of camp. His/her lack of interest or enthusiasm takes extra time and energy away from the group.
If your child’s essay has been approved already, and an unforeseen conflict arises for his/her camp week, please contact us as soon as you can. We will try and work with you to resolve the conflict. Please do not wait until the child is already at camp!
