NACC is looking for 15 or more children in the 5th or 6th grade who would be interested in attending the Indiana Conservation Officer Organization – ICOO Karl Kelly Youth Conservation Camp, which will be held this coming summer in June (usually the third week) for 7 days. NACC will select children who sign up by February 1, 2023. The cost of the camp is paid for by NACC. If your child, nephew, niece or grandchildren like outdoor adventure, this camp is a must for them. It is a full week of fun that they will enjoy and remember for a long time. You can check out their website, www.icoo.com where you can view past information at this time, and after the first of year, the new information will be available as in the past.
