The Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park is introducing a new Premier Overnight Youth Encampment Weekend this May! The weekend will include everything we offer at our regular Overnight Youth Encampments over TWO nights instead of one. This allows for more time to explore the Naval Park and get involved in even more in-depth educational activities, docent-led tours, and more. The premier weekend also includes a trip to a Buffalo Bisons baseball game. The Buffalo Bisons are the local minor league affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays baseball organization.
