This event is always a great opportunity to meet fellow sportsmen from clubs across Essex County while supporting the organizations that advocate for our shared outdoor traditions.

The Massachusetts Junior Conservation Camp (MJCC) is a two-week program designed to teach teens various outdoor recreation skills. Andover Sportsmen’s Club will sponsor two campers this year (pay full camp tuition/$1150 Value). Tuition covers lodging expenses, food, and activities.

• Camp Dates: August 3–15, 2026
• Camp Location: Moses Scout Reservation, 310 Birch Hill Avenue, Russell MA.

Campers are expected to attend the entire session in order to receive any certificates earned during the program. Campers must be between 13 to 17 in age on the first day of camp and related to a member in good standing.

The MJCC is operated by Massachusetts Junior Conservation Camp Inc. Campers learn a variety of outdoor skills, including fishing, hunting, shooting sports, archery, boating, and camping. The camp also aims to educate campers about conservation of natural resources and responsible use of the environment.

The facility offers two-person tents with cots atop a raised platform, modern dining hall and a fully equipped medical lodge. Certified life guards and medical personnel are on staff. All instructors are certified in their respective fields.
