**Hunter Education

Hunter Education certification by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks requires both written and instructor-led (face to face) coursework. Campers who desire Hunter Education certification and do not complete the written coursework on-line prior to camp must participate in written coursework at a time to be determined during camp.

We STRONGLY encourage campers who desire Hunter Education certification to complete the on-line training course and submit their Hunter Education Web Course Report and Affidavit PRIOR to attending camp to ensure that they do not miss other camp activities. The prior background will also enable you to participate more fully in Hunter Education related discussions during camp.

To complete the on-line training, visit http://home.mdwfp.com/Education/info.aspx?id=49 and click on one of the Internet Course Links at the bottom left of the page (the free module is perfectly acceptable). The instructor-led coursework will take place at camp to complete the Hunter Education certification. To submit your Hunter Education Web Course Report and Affidavit, contact Laura Andrews (landrews@cfr.msstate.edu; 662-325-6694).



All camps include food, lodging, and on-site transportation (transportation to/from Starkville, MS excluded). Registration fees for each camp are: *

  • $325 for each child if no parent/guardian is attending

  • $300 per person for family units [child(ren) / parent(s) / guardian(s)]

  • You are only required to pay a deposit at this time ($100 per person). This deposit is non-refundable.

  • We are seeking parents/teachers to serve as dorm monitors at each camp (one male and one female monitor per camp). Dorm monitors must have a child enrolled in the camp for which they serve as monitor, must be present for the entire camp, and must stay in the dorms at night to supervise campers (males for male dorms, females for female dorms). A discount will be applied to the camp fees of adults serving as monitors. For more information, contact Dr. John Guyton (jguyton@cfr.msstate.edu) or Ms. Laura Andrews (landrews@cfr.msstate.edu, 662-325-6694).

 

I would like to select the following payment option:

One Person Deposit - $100

Two Person Deposit - $200

Three Person Deposit - $300

Four Person Deposit - $400

Five Person Deposit - $500

Six Person Deposit - $600
