If hands-on learning is your thing, look no further than our Learn to Hunt and Fish Camp in the Panhandle Region! Not only do participants leave hunter education certified, but they also leave with more specialized hunting and fishing know-how compared to a standard hunter education class.

If you are already hunter education certified but are interested in hands-on experiences in hunting techniques and live-fire with rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders and bows then our new Hunting and Shooting Skills Field Days might be just what you are looking for.

Learn to Hunt and Fish day camp

At our Learn to Hunt and Fish Camp, participants are taught a variety of skills from seasoned pros. Beyond receiving a hunter education certificate, participants get the opportunity to participate in live-fire activities with modern bowhunting equipment and firearms (.22 caliber rifles, 20 gauge shotguns and muzzleloaders) under the instruction and supervision of NRA-certified Range Safety Officers. 

They also learn basic outdoor survival skills in group survival scenarios, practice game tracking, discover the science behind setting hunting seasons, try their hand at some primitive hunting skills, become “bear aware” and more!

Similar to last year’s camps, the last day of camp will be focused on learning the nuts and bolts of fishing.

Day camp is a one-time opportunity for students ages 10 to 15 who have not yet received their hunter education certificate but desire to do so. If your child has already participated in a Learn to Hunt and Fish Camp or a hunter education class, they cannot attend camp. But don’t despair! Keep reading to learn more about the new Hunting and Shooting Skills Field Days to let your child experience most of the activities offered at camp.
