Camp North Woods was a great success last summer and
Maine’s Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife
(www.maine.gov/ifw/) is excited to announce an expanded camp
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.
Camp North Woods will be held at and hosted by the University of
Maine’s 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-Aug. 6, 2016. 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
www.maine.gov/online/camplottery. The 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.
The online lottery service was created at no cost to Maine
taxpayers by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife
in partnership with the state’s eGovernment portal provider,
InforME. The North Woods Camp Lottery service enhances the popular
suite of online outdoor and recreational services currently
available through Maine.gov.
