Camp Mollenhour's facilities are truly
unique-an ideal setting for a very special educational experience. Established in 1938 by the conservation clubs in the local
area, this outstanding camp has been perpetuated by the clubs remaining active and by local organizations. Now lead by a dedicated
council of volunteers (see the List of Board Members link to read about these people), C.O. Mollenhour Conservation Camp is
expanding programs and providing greater facilities to serve even more young people as environmental awareness and conservation
become increasingly critical to future generations.
