DEC Summer Camps Need Help!

[cnymuzguy]

These camps are good introduction for kids to learn about  hunting, fishing, camping, etc. They can't get enough kids or adults to work at several of the camps! How sad, I wanted my grand kids to go to Colby, but it doesn't look like it will happen. If you have college kids or know someone here is a link for jobs.

   Back when,I was 14 and the 1st year in a Gun Club,I was picked to spend time up at the DeBruce Camp.    I think it was at least 4 days that Summer. Had alot of Fun and Learned a few things.

If you were at the DeBruce club you have to expand on that ... how was the fishing ? Just not right mentioning the DeBruce club with no comment to the  fly fishing .

So we are talking 1974 when,I was 14. Monroe- Chester Sportsman's  Club sponsored  me for the 4 or 5 days.

    I remember  learning how to Row a Boat on a Lake and some Archery Practice as well as multiple Hikes where the instructor  would point out the names of different  plants and trees.

hope they find some folks. Good first job for someone going into forestry or wild life management. I went to Colby years ago, as did my son and stepson. Lots of folks that go onto professional positions in DEC and other agencies start here. I know I did.
