The Lumber Heritage Region (LHR), in partnership with Cameron County Outdoor Youth Activities (CCOYA) and Penn State Extension Cameron County 4-H, is now accepting registrations for the 2026 Teen Conservation Camp.

This camp will provide an immersive outdoor learning experience designed to connect teens with Pennsylvania’s forests, natural resources, and conservation heritage. Made possible in part through support from the West Penn Energy Fund (WPEF), the camp provides students ages 15 to 17 with hands-on opportunities to explore forest ecosystems, learn outdoor skills, meet conservation, recreation, and forest products professionals, and gain a deeper understanding of environmental stewardship and sustainability practices in Pennsylvania.

Throughout the program, participants will engage in activities focused on forestry, wildlife, recreation, local history, conservation, sustainability, and the forest products industry while building confidence, leadership skills, and connections to the outdoors.
