BUIDLING PROFESSIONAL BRIDGES:  The Texas 
Brigades help young people set a course for their 
future …ahead on Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas 

To categorize the Texas Brigades as “summer 
camp” is like calling a mountain lion “a kitty cat”.

05—This is not a normal summer camp. This is meant to 
be a lot more than that.

Writer, Aubry Buzek [Byu-zik] wrote a story about 
the Brigades for the Oct. issue of TPW magazine.

18—The editor of the magazine said, ‘I want you to go to 
this summer camp and write about it’. And I was 
thinking: ‘Okay. There’s going to be fun stuff happening’; 
I get there and it’s in the middle of a session on how 
conservation groups work in Texas….and conservation 
and hunters ethics. And I was like, “Whoa!’

The 5-day, cell-phone free, camps for youth build 
confidence and camaraderie with projects, public 
speaking and debates on conservation issues.

31— There are some really amazing instructors who 
come to this camp. There are instructors there who are 
wildlife biologists from TPW, other private hunting 
ranches, water control authorities…just the gambit of 
[conservation] organizations in Texas. The kids get to 
meet people not easily accessible. Every instructor that I 
talked to said that they want these kids to pick up the 
phone and keep in touch with them. They want to help 
them grow now and into the future.

Aubry Buzek’s story on the Texas Brigades appears 
in the October issue of TPW magazine. 

The WR program supports our series.
