The Crex Meadows Youth Conservation Camp is a unique mix of:
Work experience (they get paid!)
Science and nature education- the camp is located on a wildlife refuge
Recreation

Since 1996 this one-of-kind camp allows the participants to earn a paycheck working with the WI Dept. of Natural Resources, earn high school science credit and enjoy recreational activities.

This co-ed camp for teens serves a variety of people from various backgrounds including, but not limited to:

Low-income families, mild learning disabilities, interest in natural, environmental and life sciences and participants that need to increase their work-related skills.

The camp is administered by the local workforce development agency, NWCEP, Inc. Their staff are able to increase the experience of the campers by keeping a low camper-to-counselor ratio and serving as positive role models.

While the cost may seem substantial, over 1/3 of the total cost goes back to the camper in the form of a paycheck.

Please contact Camp Director, Brad Gingras for more information.
