What are the DEC Education Summer Camps?

DEC Education Summer Camps are a great way to nurture a youth’s love of the outdoors, and to develop an abiding respect for, and learn to become a responsible steward of our environment.  It also teaches a variety of outdoor skills. 

Campers will have a chance to learn archery, canoeing, fishing, birding, backpacking, camping, and hunter education.  They will explore New York's diverse habitats, have the chance to learn basic ecological concepts, and how human activities affect the environment. Campers solve challenges, explore environmental concepts, practice outdoor skills, and spend a week immersed in nature.
