NACC is looking for 25 or more children in the 5th or 6th grade who would be interested in attending the Indiana Conservation Officer Organization’s – 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, 2025. The cost of the camp is paid for by NACC. If your child, nephew, niece or grandchildren likes 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. Remember all registration must go through the NACC for us to pay. Providing the child’s name, a contact person and phone number and e-mail address are essential to enter and complete our camp forms.

Our first camp out, chili cook off, clay bird shooting and corn hole tournament was a great time enjoyed by those who came. Thank you Jennifer for organizing the event. Jennifer said, not as many people came as expected, but things turned out well. It was suggested to do it again in, like one in the spring and one in the fall. Let us know what you think!!!
