Hunting and Fishing Academy provides new hunters and anglers—9 years or older and their family or guardians—hands-on instruction in the art of being an outdoorsman.
For hunters, this includes practical sessions about reading the land and understanding the species to pick the best location, how to create a blind, what to consider to ensure ethical harvesting, safely field dressing the harvest, and more.
For anglers, participants will learn how to identify different species, scout the best locations, how to use different equipment, proper casting and reeling technique, wildlife conservation principles, and more.
In addition to learning hunting and fishing fundamentals, participants will learn core outdoor recreation skills such as campsite selection and set up, orienteering with a compass, and the principles of Leave No Trace outdoorsmanship.
You will leave the experience with all of the basic skills and knowledge needed to go again on your own!
Family members and loved ones learn and participate right alongside one another. They grow together and leave prepared for outdoor adventures that further strengthen bonds not just with each other, but also with nature.
