Michigan Youth Trout Camp

Michigan Youth Trout Camp July 10-July 14, 2011 Hosted by Kalamazoo Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited 2010 Michigan Youth Trout Campers and Staff The Kalamazoo Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited is hosting the Michigan Youth Trout Camp July 10-July 14, 2011 at the Ralph A. MacMullan Conference Center on Higgins Lake, in the heart of Northern Michigan trout country. The four-day Camp is designed to educate our 12-16 year old boys and girls, who will become our next generation of conservation leaders, about the importance of protecting our coldwater resources. Campers will learn that how we choose to use our land can affect the health of our streams, our trout, and ourselves. We will have discussions on stream restoration, and together we will complete a stream improvement project. Campers will collect and learn to identify macro-invertebrates important to trout and learn what they can tell us about water quality and stream habitat. Students will discover what trout need to survive, where they hide, and, with help from some of Michigan`s leading conservationists and anglers, how to catch them. In the evening, the students will get to test their new skills on the famous Au Sable and Manistee Rivers, casting to beautiful brookies, spunky rainbows, and big brown trout. All of this will be under the guidance of local experts and Trout Unlimited volunteers from around the state. The Camp is made possible through the efforts of TU National and the many TU Chapters with their volunteers and members. Also included are the MI DNR Fisheries Division, the staff at the RAM Center, Americorp and DEQ volunteers, Huron Pines Conservation District, and many MI and Midwest Angling Guides and other conservationists who have so graciously given of their time and talents to this Camp.
