Hunt Camp 2022

Illinois Hunt Camp is a new type of collaborative event and it’s all about bringing hunters together. Hunters and trappers of all types and abilities are encouraged to attend. This is your chance to network in the outdoors communities of Illinois, and maybe even win a mentored hunt with an established outdoorsperson or some great outdoor gear in the FREE Hunt and Gear Giveaway.

Gear to be won includes Vortex Optics binoculars and rangefinders, Duke Traps, Icotec electronic Game Call, and so much more!

Food will be included and available throughout the evening or until we run out of burgers and dogs for the grills. There will be a full bar on site, drinks are not included in the ticket price unfortunately, but will be available for purchase from the Quarry until 11 PM.

There will be a 4 vs. 4 sand volleyball tournament, a 2 vs. 2 cornhole/bags tournament and Outdoors Trivia that will be free to enter.

Come make some new friends, learn about hunting and trapping and the different outdoor organizations out there. Many in attendance will win a mentored hunt or some awesome outdoor gear. The hunt and gear giveaway is free to enter with admission to Hunt Camp – plus there are bonus tickets available if you are a member, or become a member, of an outdoor group!

All games, raffles, parking and food will be FREE with admission to Hunt Camp! You would only need $ for drinks from the bar and to sign up for any outdoors groups that fit your fancy if you so desire. Cards will be accepted by most if not all outdoors groups to take memberships and by the Quarry bar for drinks.

Get your tickets today before they are SOLD OUT!
