The youth trappers camp is open to boys and girls ages 12 – 14 who have a sincere desire to learn all about trapping and are willing to put forth the effort and commitment to obtain their NYS Trapper Training Certificate. Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to, proper trapping techniques as well as hands-on trapping and proper fur handling techniques by experienced trappers. Participation in the class is strongly recommended. Camp is limited to 26 first time students and 10 returnees.
