The club i belong to does a learn to fish program for the local grade 4 classes. We will get 25-35 students plus teachers and parents twice a week for 6/7 weeks ,April to june
In addition to that number we run the program for scouting groups, big brother big sister, and the general public.
We provide hot dogs and hot chocolate, coffee, and tea for all days at no cost. So far this month we have handed out over 1000 hotdogs.
When asked why we do it year after year we reply "for the smiles!"
We are a small but dedicated club. We do biweekly firearms courses, we do 16-20 groups of l2f every April/May/june, bi monthly range days, 3 mentored pheasant hunts in the fall, mentor youth for small game and deer and do several basic woodsmanship classes for grade 4 students.
Sounds like we dont have much time to get out ourselves but we all realize the youth are the future of the sport and we should be giving back mow before all our knowledge base is lost.
"Where education meets the woods" is our club motto
