Location: COLCORD RIDGE CAMPGROUND (In northeastern Unit 23 ‑ South of Hwy 260 on the road to Young, AZ)
This mentored junior hunting camp along with the others that cater to new youth hunters, are a great way to get your kids introduced to hunting. Being in a safe, mentored camp with other kids, lets the young hunters talk and rub shoulders with other young hunters away from TVs, cell phones, computers and iPods. They learn not only to hunt in a safe environment but also the importance of wildlife conservation, ethics, volunteering and respect for the wildlife and outdoors. Conservation of Arizona’s wildlife depends on the young hunters getting involved!
