This year marks the first time we have 10 young campers registered before the end of February.

Wow! And that’s not counting today, a leap day.

“I want to go to camp to become more immersed in nature and the Outdoors. I have been out in the field with my dad to train our two dogs as well as observing a real hunt to see how they have improved. I would benefit from this camp as I could learn about conservation, learn more techniques when it comes to hunting, and have a great time.”

What’s your 11-16yo outdoor enthusiast doing this summer? We’d love to see their smiling face in July for five days of fresh air, learning, and fun.

Easy registration begins with our new online forms. Register today, drop them off at camp in July.

See you out and about!
Team T.U.N.E. Camp MN

We’re super excited to share a group photo of last year’s campers, guides and staff. View 2018 photo gallery.

Reminder — registration for Camp 2019 ends June 10th. We look forward to welcoming this year’s young campers on June 19th.

See you soon!

A big T.U.N.E. shout-out to our 2019 session sponsors. We truly appreciate your support and enthusiasm for youth outdoor adventure and education.

Bruce, Vic, and other volunteers are running the T.U.N.E. Camp MN booth at the GWFFE this weekend at Hamline University in St. Paul. Follow the link for the schedule and details about the Expo. There is so much to see and do. There is even a huge pool to practice casting on!

We had a quiet day yesterday, but expect to be very busy today and tomorrow. Janine Kohn, creator of the T.U.N.E. program swung in with her husband, Benji, who will be a Camp volunteer again this summer. David and his daughter, Lindsay, a Camper from last year, are volunteering to run the booth today. You can ask her what she thought of T.U.N.E. Camp MN.

Stop by the booth and say hello, check out our display, make your own “fish prints” as these boys are doing, put insect stamps (temporary tattoos) on your skin, or even lend us a hand. We hope to see you there.

 

Mark your Calendars!

The GWFFE will be held at Hamline University March 17, 18, 19. T.U.N.E. Camp MN will have an informational and activity booth at the Expo once again. If you are interested in volunteering to set-up, run, or take-down the booth, contact Bruce Gockowski.

Maybe we will see you there. It is a superb show. Many, many vendors, presentations, demonstrations, fly-tiers combine to make an exciting Expo every year. There are usually a number of youth-oriented activities planned throughout the weekend, but be sure to check the show schedule for details. Bruce will have the “fish-printing” station set up at our booth so the kids can make some unique artworks to take home.
