Missouri Department of Conservation will host a daylong Hunter Education Youth Camp in early July for youth ages 11-15 at Mark Twain Lake this summer.

Campers will actively participate in hands-on outdoor skills while also obtaining their Hunter Education Certification. Participants will have the opportunity to learn archery skills, fishing practices, shotgun shooting, and more during these day-long camps.

In additions, kids will learn overall conservation management and ethics.

The girls’ day camp will be held July 9 from 8 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. while the boys’ day camp will be held July 10 from 8 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.

Both day camps are free and will be held at Mark Twain Lake’s Frank Russell Campground off Highway J in Monroe City.

Register campers by calling Conservation Agent Jessica Eckelkamp at (660) 651-0218 or Kylee Korte at (660) 785-2420.
