​Forkhorn family camp is your chance to complete Forkhorn 1 with your youth camper. Camp activities will include the same curriculum, education, activities, and MN DNR Firearms Safety certification as Forkhorn 1. Adults will be participants alongside their campers and can receive their MN DNR Firearms Safety as well! Please read all the notes below for more camp information before registering.

• Youth may not register individually. Campers must be registered as part of a family group with one adult for up to five youth, and each group will be assigned one private room. Adults must personally know all youth staying in their room before camp. Room assignments are the responsibility of the adult group leader - Deep Portage will not match or assign roommates. 

• Adults must be participants in most activities. Adults seeking FAS must be in morning classrooms, field days, range time, and take test (all FAS required activities).

Camp is contingent on enrollment. A minimum of 15 youth campers is required to run the camp. If minimum enrollment is not met by July 17, the camp will be cancelled and a full refund will be issued. ​
