New Youth Summer Camp Will Include Warden Mentors From ‘North Woods Law’

The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife has developed Camp North Woods to provide opportunities to youth and their families to learn lifelong outdoor skills, and the importance of sustaining Maine's natural resources. 

Camp North Woods will take place this July at the UMaine 4-H Camp and Learning Center at Bryant Pond. It is a week long camp with separate weeks for boys and girls from ages 8-12 years old. The camp will include hands on training in ATV use, boating, paddling,  sports, turkey & deer hunting, outdoor survival, map & compass skills, the life of a Maine Game Warden, archery, shotgun, rifle, spin fishing, fly fishing, fly tying, trapping, and more! There is even a parents day where parents can join in on the outdoor activities for the day.

Because the camp is expected to have high applicant numbers they will hold a lottery to choose campers. There will be 96 winners with 70% being Maine residents and 30% non-residents. There is a small entry fee for the lottery and if selected as a camper a tuition will be expected to attend.

You can enter the lottery and learn more from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
