1. Build a Birdhouse – nail pre-cut lumber together to construct a nest box for bird. Each youth builds and takes one home.

2. Archery Range – shoot bow and arrows at full body animal targets and then challenge your skills by shooting and popping balloons.

3. Tips from the Trail – Learn tips for taking your next long distance (or short) hike. Youth will take home pocket safety items.
