Wildlife Federation (KWF) and the K-State Cooperative Extension
Service, the Outdoor Adventure Camp (OAC) is a six-day summer
camp for kids who enjoy the outdoors and want to learn more about
it. Now in its 19th year, the event will be held June10-15 at
the Camp WaShunGa area of Rock Springs 4-H Center, near Junction
City.
Kansas youngsters ages 10 through 12 will spend
mornings exploring the grounds at Rock Springs with instructors,
getting up-close experiences with Kansas animals and plants.
Session subjects include insects, mammals, reptiles and amphibians,
fish management, wildlife management, wetlands, birds, and stream
ecology.
Afternoons will be spent learning about birds of
prey, skins and skulls, bats, streams, and more general topics,
including ecology, wetlands, riparian areas, and watersheds.

Kansas State University, the Natural Resource Conservation Service,
county conservation districts, the Riley County Fish and Game,
4-H clubs, and other organizations will be on hand.
Depending on the evening, participants may prowl
for owls, star-gaze, or watch bats gobble bugs. Evening swims
are on the agenda, and participants will sit around a campfire,
eat s'mores, and tell stories. One evening will feature a friendly
fishing competition.
Other activities planned are scavenger hunts; swimming
and canoeing; fishing; rifle, shotgun, muzzleloader, archery,
and pellet gun shooting; arts and crafts; and horseback riding.
A day-trip to the Milford Nature Center and Fish Hatchery will
occupy one day.

gear, and clothes for a week. Sunscreen, insect repellent, a
cap, a fishing pole, and a water bottle are also recommended.
