Maine Conservation School teaches a series of basic outdoors skills. Here's what some of our campers enjoyed the most: "I really liked the mountain hike.". "I learned what to do if I get lost. The food was good and I had a lot of fun.". "I liked learning about making shelters.". "I learned how to use a safety kit in the woods."

"We played T-rescue with the canoes today.". "I really liked building debris huts and carving spoons.". "I liked carving, firemaking, night hiking and especially the eating.". "I really enjoyed fire building and canoeing. I made a good fire."

"I had so much fun at Conservation Camp.I learned about the forest, hunter and boater safety, and what to do if you become lost. I recommend this camp to anyone who would like to learn about wilderness, but have fun at the same time. Thanks."
