The Natural Resource Camp has been a summer program since 1960.   Spend a week near beautiful Sun Valley exploring and studying Idaho's natural resources. Discover nature's secrets for yourself by conducting experiments and completing outdoor projects.  This is a hands-on camp.   Also enjoy outdoor activities, such as hiking, fishing, volleyball, bow and arrow safety, target shooting, and fireside sing-alongs.   Compete with your friends in the Tournament of the Outdoors.   View a camp video from 2018 at:  http://www.iascd.org/natural-resource-camp.html .
