Crex Meadows Youth Conservation Camp

The camp employs approximately seventy youth over four, two-week sessions during the summer.

Crex Meadows Youth Conservation Camp will provide a positive experience where youth will develop valuable work-related skills and a positive connection to nature. The Crex Meadows Youth Conservation Camp is a unique opportunity for high school youth to take a “hands on” approach to exploring environmental education and conservation careers. While residing at the camp, these youth assist the Wiscon

sin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) with a variety of environmental conservation projects and participate in daily academic and experiential learning activities. The camp is staffed with counselors whose backgrounds vary from outdoor education to environmental resources, a cook, and a camp director all of whom are dedicated to the safety, education and well-being of every camper. Where We’re Located:
Established in 1996, the Crex Meadows Youth Conservation Camp is located in Grantsburg, Wisconsin, situated on a 30,000-acre state wildlife area. Whom We Serve:
The camp employs at-risk youth, economically disadvantaged youth, and youth with special education needs, ages 14-18, residing in the ten northwest counties of Wisconsin. Benefits to Youth:
Youth learn valuable lessons in goal setting, team building, leadership development, and work
readiness skills not only through the curriculum and work activities but also during workshops, field trips, and recreation time offered at the camp. In addition, youth earn minimum wage for their work with the DNR and earn high school credit from participating high schools. Our Partners:
The Crex Meadows Youth Conservation Camp is the result of a partnership between the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Northwest Wisconsin Concentrated Employment Program, Inc., a private, non-profit organization.

Part of our "Backyard" at Crex Camp! 🙂

The Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway is one of the country's great hidden gems. For photographer Kate Wright, it's a place to escape and be inspired. Refreshing as a bubbly beverage, the St. Croix and Namekagon rivers flow through 255 miles of the most scenic and undeveloped country in the Upper Midwest, winding through Minnesota and Wisconsin. Each winter, persistently cold temperatures lead to the thickening of ice on the lakes and river backwaters. The scenic beauty, recreation and wildlife habitat that this place provides makes it a breath of fresh air. Photo courtesy of Kate Wright.
