During the three-day camp each participant, under full supervision, will shoot .22 rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders, and archery equipment. They will also learn wilderness survival skills, first aid, and hunter ethics. This is a sleepover event, and participants will be accomodated with cabins provided by the camp. The particpants will be grouped by gender for sleeping. Adult staff will also be camping overnight.
Please note this is for youth who have not already successfully completed a hunter education course. There is no charge for participants, as the weekend is grant funded and operated by Division of Wildlife staff, members of the Athens Fish & Game Club, certified instructors, and local sportsmen and sportswomen. Upon successful completion of the course (pass test with a score of 80% or better) participants will be issued an official certification card necessary for all first time license purchases.
The Camp Heritage facility is located at 600 Robinette Ridge Road, New Marshfield, Ohio. For more information or to register for the workshop, please contact Tara Riley at 740-591-9650, or check out the Camp Heritage website at http://athensfishandgame.org/camp-heritage.html.
