The Cumberland Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited is now accepting applications for  the 30th Rivers Conservation and Fly Fishing Youth Camp to be held June 15 to 20 at Messiah University in Cumberland County.  Application deadline December 31.

This is not just a fly fishing camp. It is primarily a coldwater conservation camp with a balance of classroom instruction and hands on learning in both coldwater conservation and fly fishing. There are early morning and evening fishing sessions each day.

Camp is a time to disconnect from the distractions of everyday life and connect with nature and their peers.

Keeping cell phones out of the camp environment creates a distraction-free environment where campers can fully engage in the activities and programs offered at camp, form a sense of community, and connect with their fellow campers. The use of cell phones at camp is strictly limited to in the dorm rooms at night.

This camp is for boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 17.  If you would like to have fun, work hard, and engage in a unique experience, get your application in early.

Up to 24 students will be selected to attend.  We look forward to receiving your application.

Campers selected for the early acceptance period will be notified in early January 2025. If any vacancies remain, applications accepted during the regular acceptance period (1/1/25 through 2/28/25) will be notified in early March 2025.

If any vacancies remain, there will be an extended application period until April 30, 2025, or until full, whichever comes first.

Campers accepted during the extended period will be notified as soon as possible

Visit the Rivers Conservation and Fly Fishing Youth Camp website for all the details.
