Join us on Saturday, June 5th. The Wisconsin Rapids Kiwanis Club will be hosting it’s fourth annual Youth Outdoors Day event.
A special thanks to Solarus, Plum Creek Timber Company, NRG Media and The Voice of Wisconsin Rapids for their sponsorship of this year’s event.
Early bird hunter’s education: 8:30 am (other sessions at 9:15, 10:00, 10:45, 1:00)
Registration: 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
Activities: 9:00 am – 3:00 pm
Raffle and Prizes: 3:00 pm
There will be more than 20 hands-on outdoor activities for participate in like: archery, hunting, canoeing, fishing, shooting sports, wilderness first-aid and more.
The event is FREE for any one to attend and will be held at Red Sands Beach Park on Lake Wazeecha. Follow Cty Trk U (80th Street) to South Park Road, go west on South Park 1/4 mile to Red Sands Beach Park, enter by the shelter house.
The event is targeted towards children ages 8-16. Younger children WILL be allowed to attend, but they will not be allowed participate in many of the shooting events for safety reasons. Additionally, children must be accompanied by at least one parent or guardian the entire time in attendance. A new law in 2009 now permits children ages 10 and up to participate in shooting sports, compared to 12 years old prior to the new WI law.
We are excited to announce that we will be giving away 50 fishing poles, made possible by the Alliant Energy Community Foundation and Timberland Archery.
In addition J & J Cranberries has donated two three-bird pheasant hunts and many will be many other prizes as well. The drawing will be held at 3:00 PM, and participants must have participated in at least six different activities and must be present to win. In the event of threatening weather, the drawing will be held earlier.
In effort to make the registration process as quick as possible, we encourage participants to bring a completed registration form to the event which can be downloaded here.
