Join our State Game Wardens for a weekend of outdoor education!
Teens ages 15-17 are invited to come learn up close how our Game Wardens contribute to conservation in Vermont. Participants will spend the weekend fishing, hiking, exploring mock crime scenes, and seeing K-9 units in action.
The weekend will take place at our Kehoe Green Mountain Conservation Camp, where teens will stay in the cabins and enjoy campfires, s’mores, swimming, and other camp activities. All participants will be asked to keep electronic devices, including cell phones, turned off and put away for the duration of the weekend to enjoy time unplugged and connecting in-person with their peers.
Please note: Junior Warden Weekend is a co-ed program for youth ages 15-17 years old.
