Erie County Federation of Sportmen's Clubs to offer sponsorships to 2023 DEC Youth Camp

Erie County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs is sponsoring up to 7 youths to attend the 2023 DEC Summer Camp in Rushford.

DEC camps combine environmental education, hunter education programs, and outdoor recreation into a fun adventure. They use a hands-on approach to teach about the environment.

Campers will have the opportunity to learn outdoor skills including backpacking, camping, and canoeing. They will explore New York's diverse habitats, have the chance to learn basic ecological concepts, and how human activities affect the environment. Campers solve challenges, explore environmental concepts, practice outdoor skills, and spend the week immersed in nature.
