Advanced Camp

Advanced Camp II
Campers will learn a broad range of specific equipment used for each style of hunting. Participate in a more hands on hunter safety, education, conservation, and learn new skills. Campers will learn how to properly care for, clean and repair equipment. They will also participate in our 3-D archery course, learn how to climb into and out of a tree stand, at some of our locations they can spot Tule Elk, & participate in hunt simulations.
A little about us
KOSC started in 1998 with one camp and 30 campers. Over the last 25 years KOSC has blossomed into the most successful and interactive hunter education course in the state. KOSC currently runs 10 camps each summer, with three locations and offers, Beginner, Advanced, and for the first time in 2022 an Advanced Camp II program. For those who already have their Hunter’s Education Certificate, KOSC offers an advanced camp to hone their skills and further their knowledge of the outdoors and an Advanced Camp II which offers even more challenging outdoor activities; for example, our 3D archery course.
2022 is KOSC’s 25th year of operation, and we announced the “Outdoor Conservation Explorer’s” program, the first of its kind to give youth a path to becoming an adult hunter. We pride ourselves on giving youth the opportunity to become more involved in the outdoors & more knowledgeable about conservation!

Testimonials
“Thank you so much to KOSC! Without you we would not be doing any fun activities like archery, hunter safety, kayaking and fishing. It was epic fun. Archery was one of my favorites because I have not done archery in years and archery was fun to me! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!”
