Archery lesson at Camp Colby  -  Registration for DEC's four summer environmental education camps is now open!

What could be better than enjoying the outdoors in the Adirondacks, southern Catskills or Western New York. Kids aged 11 to 17 yrs old can attend a fun-filled week at camp where they learn about the environment and engage in various outdoor activities such as shooting sports, fishing, hiking and canoeing. Campers can even take Hunter Education or Bowhunter Education courses during their stay to qualify for their sporting license.

For the first time, we are offering the Trapper Education course during Week 7 (8/10 - 8/16) at Camp Rushford (Western NY) and Week 5 (7/27-8/2) at Camp Colby (Adirondacks).

Do you know a kid interested in spending time outdoors this summer? For only $350, a week at camp will become a lifetime of memories.
