   The Boone County Conservation District wants to get youth outside to explore their environment. One camp, Camp Ducktails, offers kids ages 4-5 a chance to get up close and personal with nature, through games, stories and hands-on experiences at the Spencer Conservation Area in Belvidere. Camp Redtail, for ages 12-15, will include a caving experience at Maquoketa Caves State Park in Maquoketa, Iowa. Education Director Mark Freedlund said he is excited to see the younger campers explore the natural setting around them, and also to involve the tweens and teens in a caving experience that he believes will promote bonding, self-discovery and a sense of “community” among participants.
