Out into the snow!

New Year’s eve found us in 2 inches of snow trying to fool some mallards.  It was our last hunt of 2009 and it ended with a bang. OK, pun intended!

Team Mayhem Waterfowling

We were delivered a great early Christmas gift compliments of Team Mayhem Waterfowling.  We recieved a donated goose hunt and it was a present that will be remembered for a long time!

The OneFace.me  video grant sponsored by Verizon and the Lehigh County Bar Association will be featuring our students.  The 5 minute  video will be released in 2010  We will try to get more information on line as soon as its available.

Sea Ducking!

Saturday found us on Tilghman Island, MD learning about its deep waterfowling history and hunting sea ducks courtesy of  hunt donor Bob Valimont and Capt. Lawrence Tyler.  The day was filled with lots of action and the weather was flat out cold but bearable.  One of our students said it was the best trip of his Camp Compass career.

Family Fun Day

This weekend Camp Compass had the chance to show its programs to over 500 families and other nonprofits .  It was a great opportunity to share our mission with others in the Lehigh Valley.  The event was held at Allen High School. 

They do come back!

It’s the most asked question we get.  Do any kids come back to help.  Well the answer is an emphatic YES, THEY DO!  We have the camera footage to prove it.  Deer Season started and Pipeline Ridge hosted a Camp Compass hunt with two of our graduates mentoring two current students.  mossy oak joined in the mix by taping the event for a future televison show.

North Carolina Syndicate

Camp Compass has gone above to a whole new level with its latest reward trip. The North Carolina Bear Syndicate invited a student on a bear hunt with their world class hounds this past weekend. Over 65 academic and social objectives were met during the event. Special thanks to the Pole Position Sport Fishing Team for the lodging on their beautiful boat and to the ‘Virginia Houndsmen” who taught lessons on wind, satellites, tracking, swamp ecology to name a few.

SSG TREIBER NATIONAL GUARD

Monday’s academy lesson involved a visit from Seargent Andy Trieber. Andy was a former basketball player that was coached by Mr. Annoni. He spent some time with us evaluating how the National Guard could help us improve our physical space. The academy is hoping to remove a t-wall that includes 8 large concrete barriers as well as having a computer simulator wired for student use. We’ll keep you posted on our progress.
