Youth Programs

 

Welcome to the Arizona Elk Society Youth Page!  Here you will find all of our upcoming youth events and descriptions.

At the Arizona Elk Society, our passion lies in preserving and expanding elk habitat in many ways, and we're dedicated to passing it on to both current and future generations. As champions of outdoor education, we actively engage with young individuals who express an interest in outdoor activities, utilizing their initial curiosity as a gateway to impart essential skills and values. Our mission extends beyond the thrill of the hunt; it encompasses cultivating a deep-rooted appreciation for weapon safety, habitat conservation and restoration, and respect for wildlife.

We firmly believe that today's youth are the architects of tomorrow's wildlife and habitat conservation efforts. Therefore, we've crafted a range of engaging Arizona youth programs designed to empower them with the knowledge and experiences they need to become the stewards of our natural heritage.

If you're eager to contribute to this meaningful cause, we invite you to see the opportunities available on our Volunteer page. Your support plays a crucial role in fostering a love for nature, wildlife, and responsible outdoor practices.

Browse through the various program links on this page to gain insights into the diverse initiatives we offer. Stay tuned for updates on upcoming events and programs, as we are committed to keeping you informed about the latest opportunities to get involved.

Join us in shaping the future of wildlife and habitat conservation. Together, let's inspire the leaders of tomorrow through the wonders of Arizona's great outdoors.

Youth Programs list

Wild in the City

Wild in the City® is our Outdoor Skills Day Camp for Youth 6-16. This program is designed to introduce young kids that have not participated in the outdoors. AES provides these Day Camps 2-3 times every year for youth, scouts troops, and any kids wanting to experience outdoor skills to get interested in the outdoors. We teach them many skills and open their minds to wildlife conservation and volunteerism in the outdoors.

Wapiti Weekend

Wapiti Weekend® is probably the youth event we are most known for. This event is an annual event and parents almost fight to get their children into this event each year. Wapiti Weekend® is a two-day educational camp for children and teens ages 6-17.

Jr Elk Camp

Presented by the Arizona Elk Society and sponsored by the Arizona Game and Fish Department. The Arizona Elk Society hunting camps with mentors are a great place to get young hunters introduced to hunting. They learn all about hunting from seasoned hunters and our mentors take the kids out with their guardians to give the first hand lessons that will help them become successful hunters and instill ethics and much more.

Youth Turkey Camp

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!

Scholarships

The Arizona Elk Society has chosen to provide scholarships to High School Seniors and College students. AES desires to support students pursuing a degree in wildlife sciences or other closely related fields. These scholarships are available to students who will attend or are already attending accredited colleges and universities. Our hope is that these students will become the next generation of wildlife conservationists. If you know someone who could benefit from this scholarship, please share this information with them.

Eagle Scout Projects Program

In an effort to get more Boy Scouts involved in wildlife conservation the Arizona Elk Society has partnered with the U.S. Forest Service, Arizona Game and Fish Department and the Boy Scouts. The Eagle Scout Project Program is designed to offer outdoor wildlife related projects that will challenge the Boy Scouts working to attain their Eagle Scout status.
