Conservation Camp (updated 08.12.08)
		The Northeast Indiana Conservation Camp was held August 4-6 at Camp Whitley. Camp Whitley is a beautiful place for boys and girls between the ages of 9-13 to learn about conservation. It is located northwest of Columbia City (Whitley County) on Troy-Cedar Lake. Conservation camp is organized by the Education Committee and made available through the endeavors of Soil and Water Conservation Districts and Wildlife Conservation Clubs in Indiana.
Education programs are presented by Natural Resource Specialists. Camp hands-on activities include wildlife, forestry, soils, and water programs. In addition, campers participate in arts and crafts, boating, swimming, and other sporting activities. Entertaining games, yummy refreshments and special evening programs round out camp. Application packets are available from your local Soil and Water Conservation District office starting in the middle of June. The fee for camp is $100, and most SWCDs assist campers with this fee or help find sponsors who will. Contact your local Soil and Water Conservation District for additional information.
