KOSC started their first year in the summer of 1998, starting with a single camp that welcomed 16 campers. The following year saw the expansion to 2 camps, each accommodating 16 children. Over the course of 26 years and 27 summer camps later, KOSC has flourished into one of California’s most successful and engaging hunter education programs. We take pride in hosting over 200 campers each summer!
2024 was KOSC’s 26 year of operation with 27 summer camps under its belt, and we have announced & implemented the “Outdoor Conservation Explorer’s” program, the first of its kind which gives youth hands-on-experience and an educated path to becoming an adult hunter. For over 26+ summers, KOSC has successfully trained thousands of kids in California.
“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!!”
Kids Outdoors Sports Camps provides an unrivaled experience for its attendees. Our campers spend a week gaining a variety of fishing, conservation and hunting skills.
