Beginner Camper

A beginner camper is defined as a 12 or 13 year old with little or no previous experience or firearm safety certificate. However, a 12-year with more than average experience may still be included in the beginner group because of their age.

For shooting activities, we divide the campers into small groups based on their individual experience levels and continue to assess individual skills and regroup throughout the week, as needed.

Advanced Camper

An advanced camper is defined as someone 13 years of age or older with experience ranging from no or minimal experience to very experienced and/or a previous camper.

For shooting activities, we divide the campers into small groups based on their individual experience levels and continue to assess individual skills and regroup throughout the week, as needed.

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!
