PENNSYLVANIA TAXIDERMY
ASSOCIATION SUPPORTS THE VISION
 
Once again we were the guests of
The PENNSYLVANIA TAXIDERMY ASSOCIATION at the Eastern Outdoor Show in Harrisburg,
PA. The show gave us an opportunity to introduce
our students to the different aspects of the
outdoors. The eight day show is the east coast's
largest. After meeting with some of our supporters
the results were in. WE HAD THE ONLY GROUP
OF CHILDREN THEY SAW AT THE SHOW! That's
great news for us, but sorry news for the
industry that supposedly cares so much about
kids. It is nice to see the PTA has the vision
to help us with this part of our curriculum.
We are leaders in the building of outdoor
traditions. This show proved we are doing
what others can not. |

Bethany Sportsman Dinner
On February 20th and 21st we were
the guest of Bethany Sportsmen at their sold
out wild game dinner. We were graciously allowed
to share Camp Compass information through
the two days and saw more than 800 people.
The guest speaker was World Champion Caller
and hunter Dick Kirby from Quaker Boy Game
Calls. The first night offered us a tremendous
surprise. All the youth attending the event
were entered into a raffle and Jarrett Noss
from our organization won a Benelli 20ga Nova.
The second night found two more of our students
distributing information about our programs.
At the end of the evening we had a chance
to spend time looking at Mr. Kirby's handmade
game calls and took some pictures with him.

DELTA WATERFOWL HONORS
US!
Delta Waterfowl has recognized the work of Camp
Compass by awarding it with a PRESERVING THE
LEGACY honor. Joel Brice a DW staff biologist
wrote an article on the hard work of our volunteers
and about our unique system. There was a feature
article in the latest Delta Waterfowl magazine
and we received calls from three different
states following up the article with praise.
We are grateful for the honor and we are looking
forward to having Joel spend some time with
our Travel Team next fall when we visit Sheldon Schlect in North Dakota. |

Fort Washington Show Taken
Over by Camp Compass
 
Its not every day that you see students
in sharing time together outside of school.
That's exactly what students from our Academy
did on one cold Saturday at the Fort Washington
Outdoor Show. One goal of our students was
to meet with our supporters. We were able
to spend time with Full Fan Lodge, Indian
Valley Guide service and Victory Charters
to name a few. It's quite an inspiring sight
to see kids working and interacting with outdoor
mentors. |
