Black Hills Natural Resource Youth Camp
|
Area youth gathered each year at Mallo Camp north of Newcastle, WY to participate in the Black Hills Natural Resource Youth Camp (BHNRYC) in June. The purpose of this camp is to give youth the opportunity to experience a wide variety of activities and educational sessions which teach them about the natural world and its resources. Other activities included fishing, the Wildman Hike, a talent show, and various games.

Each child participates in six educational sessions which vary each year and, in the past, have included “Survival of the Fittest,” “Migration Mayhem,” “Tremendous Trees,” “Casting for Food,” “Wilderness Scavenger Hunt,” and “Target Practice," Panning for Gold," Nature Bookmarks," "Solar Ovens," etc.

Sponsors for the Black Hills Natural Resource Youth Camp were Weston County Natural Resource District, the Campbell County Conservation District, and a generous grant received from the Campbell County Community Public Recreation District. |
The Black Hills Natural Resources Youth Camp has been designed to give young people the opportunity to experience the natural world and its resources through hands-on-activities.
We wish our participants to:
- Understand natural resources, their use and conservation.
- Gain more knowledge about the relationship between all the natural resources.
- Learn some outdoor living skills.
- Gain appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
- Have lots of fun and meet new friends.
The Black Hills Natural Resource Youth Camp takes place in the Black Hills, in a scenic canyon with Stockade Beaver Creek flowing through it. The camp facilities are owned and maintained by Weston County, Wyoming. The Lodge is relatively new and has a very modern kitchen, large dining/recreational area and meeting rooms. The campers will stay in cabins with chaperones. There are shower facilities located near separated groupings of cabins to allow for easy access. There are excellent places for fun and learning including a well-stocked trout pond.
