Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation
2011 Youth Outdoor Leadership AND Conservation School
‘Leaders Rise With Opportunity’
The Camp: For more than 30 years the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation Youth Outdoor Leadership and Conservation School has introduced youth to outdoor skills and introduced them to wildlife management techniques from wildlife professionals. In 2003 the School added a leadership component. Some of the activities that youth will participate in include: archery, canoeing, wilderness survival skills, map and compass, fisheries studies, wildlife management and biology, canoeing, wilderness camping skills, cooking on one burner stove or fire, wild plant use, plus much more.
The outdoor skills are used to facilitate leadership qualities that can be used by youth at the branch, school and community level. It is important for youth to recognize that while attending the school they will be expected to willingly participate in all of the classes and activities in a positive and constructive manner.
