0 Comments

 
This is the first time Oswegatchie has offered this program in the Spring in 10 years. We appreciate all who have supported these programs in the past and hopefully welcome more into this experience.

The Oswegatchie Educational Center is offering 33% funded Environmental and Leadership Development programs to be implemented at the center during the Spring of  2018. Funding for these programs has been made possible by NY Ag Education and Outreach. All secondary  Agricultural Science, Environmental / Conservation CTE programs may apply for these special opportunities.  See the attached Request for Proposals for requirements and details. All proposals must be postmarked or emailed by February 10th 2018  Please do not delay your proposals. 
 
Since 2000, Oswegatchie has hosted these environmental and leadership development programs at the center. We are looking forward to giving this opportunity to your students again this year. The Oswegatchie Educational Center is situated on a 1200 acre expanse of land inside the Adirondack Park. This setting provides the perfect atmosphere for learning about our natural world. The property includes 4 bodies of water, various streams, wetlands, open fields, and woodlands ideal for environmental education. Don’t miss out on this opportunity for you and your students. Apply today!

​This program will focus on winter ecology as we are unsure of what snow load will look like in advance. Oswegatchie has a an excellent fleet of snowshoes, cross country skis, and a maple sugaring operation to make a big impact.
 
Please contact me if you have any questions about this opportunity .
 
Sincerely,
Bill Waite, Program Director

2017 Winter Survival Camp for Military Youth

7/25/2016

1 Comment

 
During the week of February 19 -24th, New York’s FFA Camp Oswegatchie will host a week long outdoor sports & winter survival camp. While it is titled a Winter Survival Camp, we will be using our modern / winterized lodge for meals and lodging. Everything else is outside on our 1,200 acres of wilderness land in the Adirondacks. Besides basic physical abilities, it requires no special skill sets, but it does require winter clothes.
 
This camp is open to any youth ages 14 – 18, as long as they are the child of an active duty, reservist, or veteran military personnel.
 
This is a grant program being implemented through the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Jefferson County and is highly grant funded. The cost per student is only $40, but the value of the week is $500, plus there is a $325 travel stipend. It’s an incredible value.
