Camp North Woods was a great success last summer and we are pleased to announce an expanded camp is planned for summer 2016!
The Department created Camp North Woods to provide opportunities for youth and their families to learn lifelong outdoor skills as well as the importance of sustaining Maine's natural resources. The camp has also been established to build upon the overwhelming interest by youth who have grown to love the hit TV series on Animal Planet, North Woods Law!
Camp North Woods will again be held at and hosted by the University of Maine 4-H Camp and Learning Center at Bryant Pond. Camp staff and instructors will include Maine Game Wardens from North Woods Law, Fisheries and Wildlife Biologists, Recreational Safety Coordinators, Information and Education staff as well as staff from Bryant Pond. An all-girls camp will be held July 17-23, 2016 and an all-boys camp is planned for July 31-August 6, 2016. This year, each week will accommodate 120 campers and will provide hands-on learning opportunities in a number of outdoor related activities in a safe and comfortable environment. Campers will be joined by their parent(s) or guardian(s) for the last day (Saturday) of camp for a family field day.
Because there are a limited number of spaces at Camp North Woods, a chance lottery will be held on May 9, 2016. Campers may enter the drawing for 
a chance to attend Camp North Woods if they will be at least 8 years of age by July 17, 2016 and no older than 12 years of age on August 6, 2016. Each child may enter the drawing only once. The entry fee is $5 and all proceeds will go to support Camp North Woods. Both residents and non-residents may apply and lottery winners will be composed of 70% Maine residents and 30% non-residents.
Interested campers can apply for the online lottery by visiting bit.ly/campnorthwoodslottery. Deadline to apply for the lottery is April 29, 2016.
If selected, campers will be responsible for $400 of the $625 tuition fee to attend the five day camp.
