Our camps provide positive educational outdoor experiences, foster an appreciation for nature, and introduce a variety of careers in natural resources and conservation.
Professionals from various agencies present programs on topics like wildlife, habitat, water quality, fisheries, forestry, orienteering, and canoeing. These professionals, as well as adult volunteers, serve as overnight staff and group leaders for the duration of camp.
Campers can make new friends, participate in hands-on activities, practice social & leadership skills, enjoy the outdoors, and just have fun!

A New Chapter for Conservation Summer Camps
When summer arrives in 2026, our conservation camps will welcome students to two distinct areas of the state. High schoolers will return to the familiar trails and programs at the North Lakeland Discovery Center in Vilas County, while middle school students will embark on something new—a partnership with Camp Lakotah in Waushara County that promises to reshape the experience for our younger campers.
