North Dakota Waterfowl Brigade - Texas Brigades

04/27/2026

North Dakota Waterfowl Brigade Camp isn’t just a summer camp—it’s an experience that shapes future leaders. 🦆

At this Texas Brigades camp, young people don’t just learn about conservation and waterfowl—they build confidence, develop leadership skills, and form lifelong friendships. Through hands-on learning, teamwork exercises, cadets leave with skills that go far beyond the outdoors.

“Unity is strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.”
― Mattie J.T. Stepanek

That’s exactly what this camp is all about—coming together, growing together, and becoming the next generation of leaders.

If you’re looking for something meaningful, challenging, and unforgettable, this is it. 🌱

A great little feature on our first Battalion of camp this year!

We're so thankful for all of the support from various partner organizations across the state of North Dakota - we couldn't have this sort of impact on local youth without them!
