Come learn all about the outdoors! Campers have a unique opportunity to meet Vermont
State Game Wardens, foresters, fisheries and wildlife biologists, and others who work in the
outdoors. We offer hands-on learning experiences on fish, wildlife, ecology, forestry, first
aid and outdoor safety topics and so much more. There are opportunities for hiking, canoeing,
fishing, archery, building bluebird boxes and other fun activities.
Who can attend?
Almost a thousand campers ages 12-16 attend our program each year. There are separate
weeks open for boys and girls.

Where is the camp located?

Why is the Green Mountain Conservation Camp program unique?
Vermont's conservation camp program is unique because it is sponsored and directed by
Fish and Wildlife Department professionals-the same people who manage the fish and wildlife
resources. Working biologists, foresters, game wardens and conservation educators teach
young people about Vermont's forests, wetlands and wildlife. They give youth life skills
and knowledge so they can continue the state's traditional rural pursuits-enjoying all
aspects of the outdoor world. The program's greatest strength is connecting young people
to the outdoors.
