Youth Outdoors Unlimited Hunter Education Camp

By Darr Colburn

My youngest son Paul age 9 completed his hunter education this past weekend at the Youth Outdoors Unlimited Inc. hunter education camp.  This is the second time we have attended this camp and these guys do a fantastic job and really cater to the kids.  Youth Outdoors Unlimited Inc. is a 501C 3 non profit that relies on donations to host these camps.  They provided breakfast, lunch and dinner for the people taking the class as well as their family members in attendance.  The camp does not cost a thing and is put on by all volunteers.  I highly recommend taking your son or daughter to this camp if they need hunter education.  The camp fills up fast so preregistration is a must.  The hunter education camp is usually the last weekend in July or first weekend in August and takes place just north of Happy Jack, AZ.  We had lots of rain but the show went on and everyone left with their certificates.  I saw lots of familiar faces at the camp.  It is really great to see the future of our sport so eager to learn and get started hunting.  A huge thank you to Youth Outdoors Unlimited Inc. for all you do for the kids.  Make sure to check out the other camps they put on throughout the year for the kids.
