Each year our Pheasants Forever chapter sponsors kids to go to the Indiana Conservation Officers youth camp. We usually select 10-15 kids currently in the 5th or 6th grade to spend a week at the camp in Lafayette, IN. Campers earn their Hunter's Ed and Boater's Ed certification and learn a lot about the outdoors (not to mention they shoot up about 20,000 rounds of ammo on range day). We are currently looking for eligible kids to sponsor for the camp. We pay the $350 fee for each camper.
If you have a candidate please contact Tony Magnabosco @ tony_magnabosco@live.com

This is an amazing camp. My youngest son attended a few years ago and my nephew went last year. It is a very well organized and well run camp with tons of activities. If you have a kid in the 5th or 6th grade, I'm sure they would love it.

As soon as it was posted, I got two spots that I and my son pay for, doing this for several years now. We both have gentlemen who are are around large groups of kids and single out a "deserving" kid that meets our criteria. That is good grades, good personality, just needs to get away from a less than desirable home life and under excellent supervision. Medical personnel are there, cell phones are turned in, daily showers, medications are turned in and each kid is given what is on their record. Some of the ones that we have sponsored are known not to get three meals a day that are are nutritious as should be. One soda a day is the allowed, and no pogey bait is allowed. I'm up there for four and a half days to work and am glad they let us in the mess hall [dining facility] first. Those kids can pack it away, and if here is any left over the call for clean up is sounded. Don't get in way of that! The only real gripe I've ever heard of is they can't come back the next year. Come on up Jack, we can always use the help.
