YA Unruly Teens sent to wilderness thinking it is a juvie/rehab type camp and end up being hunted and killed by adults. Read late 1980s.

I read this book back in the late 80's as a teenager. It was a paperback smaller size, but medium-thick in length. From what I remember, it opens with backgrounds on several youth who have been sent by their parents, court, or juvi system as a bootcamp- get your life together type experience. The teens spend time out in the wilderness/woods/mountains. Somewhere the plot twists and they discover they are being hunted by men with guns for sport. I don't remember how it eventually ends, I think a couple of them survive. Kind of Hunger Games style but written in modern day USA 80's- I remember relating to the teens, so it would have been written in the 80s.
