The New York State
Outdoor Education Association
(NYSOEA) “Campership” Award
Here is your opportunity!
NYSOEA’s Diversity Committee is offering a
camper scholarship program in honor of long
time member Brother Yusuf Burgess. We will be
sponsoring five youth, one from each region of
New York State, to attend a New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation
(NYSDEC) Summer Camp.
Brother Yusuf
believed that “Many of today’s children are growing
up in busy cities without parks or ‘special places’ to
experience the beautiful and awe inspiring. They
stand to lose a very important part of what it is to
be human”. Campers connect with nature and
become outdoor stewards after just one week at a
DEC sleep-away camp for 11-17 year olds.
For more information on the camps visit:
