This will be the seventh year that this program has been conducted for children between the ages of 12 and 15 at the Peconic River Sportsman s Club. This is a two-day experience for youngsters who will have the opportunity to learn many outdoor skills, camp overnight, and earn their sportsman s education certificate. The program is a series of one hour presentations designed for school children in grades 6 and 7. Each presentation is intended to educate children about an aspect of our natural resources in an interesting and entertaining manner. There are presentations on wildlife, water, air, wetlands, fish, and one on the role of the Environmental Conservation Officer in protecting those resources.
Teachers can request any or all the presentations.
