How I despise Ted Nugent. Gun toting redneck scum who is everything about America that makes me cringe. An uncivil media whore with a has been career and apparently not everyone feels the same. There are parents who condone his bullshit and actually wait for months to sign their kids up for his summer camp. Pathetic back woods trailer trash neanderthals who sign there kids up for the ‘great outdoors’ inpired ‘camp’ and allow their spawn to shoot and hunt and.. I cant even fathom the IQ involved here.
I started our Kamp in 1989 with a simple goal—to introduce kids to the great outdoors,” says Nugent. “I made a promise to Fred Bear before he passed away that I would get kids involved. And here we are 25 years later.”
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Tim Moran of the Papillion, Nebraska Parks and Recreation. “We always start taking calls from parents literally months before registration—which is literally months before the actual event. By far, the Ted Nugent Kamp For Kids is one of the most sought-after programs, by both parents and kids, of any youth event we’re involved with.”
Sessions are outdoor class-format adventure. Each child–ages 11 to 15–is taught proper archery shooting skills, learns hunter’s safety and ethics, survival skills, and participates in hands-on nature studies and a nature walk. Nugent makes it a point to personally attend as many Kamp sessions as possible. “While my schedule does not permit me to attend all of the events, I take this stuff very personally. Our Kamp for Kids matters. It changes young lives for the better,” he says. In addition to providing hands on instruction, Nugent also performs a campfire rendition of his popular hunt songs, and talks to Kampers about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
Ted Nugent Kamp For Kids is a 100% volunteer 501C3 non-profit corporation and is operated by qualified families and individuals who deeply care about children and their futures. Every child is treated with love, affection and spiritual guidance by our dedicated volunteers. Lessons in resource stewardship, individual accountability, the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, Hunter Safety and law, International Bow Education (IBEP) and basic lessons in life are driven home in an open, honest, caring setting in the wild.
“I’m not interested in plaques, praise, banquets or awards. I’m only interested in results,” states Nugent. “I get all the rocket fuel motivation I need to keep moving forward when a smiling young kid comes up to me at Kamp and says he or she can’t wait to go fishing or hunting.”

Well, just when you think we were civilized….
