Forestry youth camp registration now open
D
o you know a teen who could benefi t from a week of canoeing, hiking, fi shing and swimming in a beautiful forest? Oklahoma Forestry Services invites girls and boys between the ages of 13 to 15 to apply for its 61st Annual Oklahoma Forestry Camp, which
will be held June 5-10 at Beavers Bend State Park in southeast Oklahoma. “For 61 years, Oklahoma Forestry Services has enjoyed providing teens with a unique opportunity to put down their phones and experience the forest,” said George Geissler, Oklahoma State Forester. “They have fun adventures and make new friends, while also learning about the environ- ment from professional foresters. Our camp experience has a lasting effect on kids, whether it’s a new appreciation for the forest or even choosing natural resources careers.”
In addition to swimming, canoeing, fi shing and hiking, campers will also participate in hands-on forestry management and stream ecology
