Trout
Unlimited is the nation’s largest organization
dedicated to protecting, reconnecting, restoring, and sustaining North America’s
coldwater fisheries and their watersheds.
Be one of the 24 high school students (currently
in the 8th, 9th, 10th, or 11th grade, or will be 13 years old by June
2010), both males and
females, who will spend most of six days outdoors experiencing mountain
streams and their environments to learn about successful and
responsible fishing, conservation, stream life and restoration,
wildlife, outdoor skills, team challenges, leadership, and
lots more, all while having fun. You’ll enjoy delicious
generous meals and snacks, and sleeping in modern lodge facilities
overlooking the
surrounding mountains and valleys.
You don’t need any special experience or
equipment—the Camp can provide it. All you need is to be
interested and want to
attend. The cost of the six-day, five-night Camp is
$650. We provide full
or partial funding for any camper who requests sponsorship to attend
the
Camp. We hope to see you in June!
