By sending a child to a DEC camp for a week! Campers learn about the environment through hands-on, outdoor activities and build friendships that last forever. Contact with environmental professionals throughout the week enriches the learning and encourages career exploration. Four camps, Colby (Northern Adirondacks), Pack Forest (Southern Adirondacks), DeBruce (Catskills) and Rushford (Western NY), host youth 12 to 14 years old. DEC also offers week-long Ecology Workshops for teens 15 to 17 years old at Pack Forest and Rushford. Complete information about the camps is available at http://www.dec.ny.gov/education/29.html. We will begin accepting applications in February for the 2010 camp season. Application forms are available on the website or by calling DEC Camps at 518-402-8014. The attached PDF (1,500 KB) describes the camps through photos and brief text. If you belong to a group that would be interested in having someone come to make a presentation about the camp program and answer questions, please contact DEC Camps via e-mail at edcamps at gw.dec.state.ny.us or by phone at 518-402-8014. Please share this information with family and friends who may be interested in sending their child(ren) to a DEC camp this summer.
