Youth Conservation Camp
For many, it was their experiences as youth that influenced hunters,anglers, and wildlife professionals to become who they are today. For many of them — and their children — Game and Fish’s camps are among the most comprehensive education experiences available. Game and Fish employees are passionately dedicated to providing top-notch conservation education statewide.
It is with much deliberation and anticipation that Game and Fish will take a year off from the Youth Conservation Camp and the Forever Wild Educator Workshops. During that year, we’ll make camp facilities safer, camp content more relevant, and the camp experience more meaningful. The team will put its expertise, passion and hearts into planning camp experiences for 2014 — and beyond — that will promote the enjoyment, pursuit, and conservation of Wyoming’s wildlife for generations to come.

Any Wyoming resident 14-17 years of age, with preference given to those who have not previously attended the camp, is eligible to apply.
