Outdoor Youth Challenge
The Outdoor Youth Challenge is the signature event at West Virginia’s National Hunting and Fishing Day. Children ages 18 and under are invited to participate and experience a multitude of activities and displays with real hands-on learning and instructional opportunities that will encourage them to gain important knowledge and experience about wildlife, hunting, fishing, firearms safety and outdoor recreation.
The Outdoor Youth Challenge is an important event at National Hunting and Fishing Days because, for some children, this may be the only opportunity they will have to be exposed to these fun and exciting outdoor activities. With the ongoing national efforts towards the recruitment, retention and reactivation, the Outdoor Youth Challenge has become a pivotal component toward the future of conservation in West Virginia.
