Natural Resources Youth Campers spend one week in the rustic setting of the Lubrecht State Forest (east of Missoula) learning about Montana's natural resources. The accommodations are comfortable, the food is great, and the instruction and friendships are the best! Campers learn about forestry, water, soils, geology, range, wildlife, and recreation, and they spend a half-day rafting the Alberton Gorge of the Clark Fork River. There are evening programs, guest speakers, campfires, and much more!

The camp is open to all youth ages 14-18. Campers are accepted on a first-come basis. The full cost of the camp is $175.00 which includes meals, supplies, and lodging. Campers are encouraged to contact their local Conservation District for sponsorship which will cover much of the camp cost.
