The Oklahoma Wildlife Youth Camp this camp gives Oklahoma Youth, ages 14 16, the opportunity to see what its like to be a Game Warden. Activities include wildlife law enforcement training, self defense, shooting, archery, rappelling and many other classes designed to further the students understanding of wildlife law enforcement.

Since 2002 the OSGWA has donated over $12,000 to the youth camp.  In addition the association has provided custom made caps for all the campers, counselors, and benefactors to the camp.  The OSGWA supports the ODWC in trying to recruit and retain our youth into the sports of hunting and fishing.
