The Fish and Wildlife Department operates two
facilities: Edward F. Kehoe Conservation Camp,
which sits high on a hill, over-looking Vermont’s
largest inland lake, Bomoseen, with the Green
Mountain Range as a backdrop, and Buck
Lake in Woodbury, which sets in the woods,
surrounding a pristine 39-acre pond where the
only sounds heard come from loons, bullfrogs
and night-hooting owls.
A child spending a week at the Conservation
Camp will get their hunter certification, find
new friends, and create lasting memories. Please
consider giving to the Green Mountain
Conservation Camp Endowment Fund to make
the camps a better place for our kids.

A 501(c)(3) Endowment Fund has been established for Vermont’s Green Mountain
Conservation Camps. Established in 1966, the Conservation Camps are a state, residential
wildlife educational program whose mission is to cultivate a caring among our youth for
Vermont’s fish and wildlife resources, and experience the state’s rich culture of camping,
hiking, fishing, canoeing and hunting.
