The state Department of Environmental Conservation is accepting registration for 2011 summer camp programs, starting Jan. 29.

Week-long adventures in conservation education for ages 12-17 are offered at Camp Colby in Saranac Lake, Camp DeBruce in Livingston Manor, Camp Rushford in Caneadea and Pack Forest in Warrensburg,

Campers participate in fishing, bird watching, fly-tying, archery, canoeing, hiking, camping, orienteering and hunter safety education. Campers learn about fields, forests, streams and ponds through fun, hands-on activities and outdoor exploration.

Fee for one week is $350. All camps will run for seven weeks, beginning July 3. Campers may attend for more than one week.

DEC is also encouraging sporting clubs, civic groups and environmental organizations to sponsor a child for a week at camp.
