Camp Heritage, Inc.

Camp Heritage, Inc. is located at 600 Robinette Ridge Rd., New Marshfield, Ohio 45766. The purpose of this organization is to promote the stewardship of our land, wildlife and outdoor heritage by providing education and guidance for the future generations. Our Hunter Education Camp was started in 1999, using facilities at Lake Snowden.

Since that time we have incorporated and become Camp Heritage, Inc. (a 501(c)(3) organization) now located at its permanent site with a meeting facility and bathroom facilities. We have joined forces with The Ohio Department of Natural Resources and The Athens Fish and Game Club which prospers from experience and dedication. We put on a camp every year on the second weekend of July for youth ages 9 to 15 who have not previously successfully completed a hunter education course. Registration is limited to 50. The campers arrive on Friday evening and leave on Sunday afternoon.

During that time they are given the Hunter Education course with hands-on experience with shotguns, rifles, muzzleloaders and archery equipment. We have a qualified and experienced staff that provides safety and professionalism. The 32-acre camp site provides adequate space and facilities. All structures and ranges are first designed for safety, then form and function. This “no cost to campers” weekend is sponsored and staffed by The Ohio Department of Natural Resources personnel, local sportsmen and sportswomen and other youth oriented people.
