Youth Wildlife Conservation event to promote outdoor experience for kids
The Youth Wildlife Conservation Experience is a free family event designed to excite and inspire the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts and conservationists.
An event for all ages of young people, there is something for everyone. This is the youth component of Wild Sheep Foundation's national convention, the Sheep Show.
Activities include: Learn to tie a fly, US Fish and Wildlife Service, target archery, hands-on hides and furs, casting challenge, Nevada Department of Wildlife, BB gun and pellet gun ranges, trap archery (shoot discs out of the air with arrows), electronic trap range, Laser Shot, learn to call ducks (and take your duck call home), make survival bracelets, and much more. Free youth raffles also take place throughout the day.
Youth ages 13-17 can also participate in the Tracks Program and get to visit participating vendors in the Sheep Show exhibit hall. There they learn some quick information and get a card stamped.
Once the all 6 vendors have stamped the card it is entered to win great prizes from Leica, Sitka, Kenetrex Boots, and more.
You can see the promo video below. The youth event takes place at the Reno Sparks Convention Center on January 23 from 10-4 in the Mt. Rose Ballrooms. In addition, a parent can receive a free voucher to enter the Sheep Show exhibit hall which is just down the hallway from the YWCE by bringing a youth to the YWCE. The youth gets into the exhibit hall for free as well.
Come for a few hours or stay the entire day. We are also looking for interested volunteers. For more information, contact Ryan at Rbrock@wildsheepfoundation.org
