Upcoming Events...
Who we are...The youth of today are our most important resource -- The leaders of tomorrow. We believe that our youth are the future of outdoor sports and recreation. However, many of today's youth never get introduced to the great outdoors or the organizations that work to preserve it for future generations. It's for this reason that Sportsmen For Youth was organized. To establish that appreciation of the great outdoors in our youth, 17 Western-Michigan area sportsmen organizations have, for the past 16 years, joined together to create Youth Day which brings together the youth of West Michigan with the sporting organizations that work hard to preserve out outdoor recreation. Youth Day is designed to introduce youth to the great joy of outdoor sports. Youth Day's are both educational and fun for area children. Absolutely free of charge to all children and guardians, those in attendance can participate in hands on activities and special demonstrations that will be conducted and supervised by each of the listed organizations. The event offers hands-on activities including a trout pond, archery shooting, live animals and furs to touch and feel, public safety demonstrations, wildlife management demonstrations, door prizes, free lunch for the children and many more fun activities. Each participating organization will have a display unique to its individual sporting activity designed to interest and educate. Outdoor celebrities will be invited to address the group. Refreshments, snacks and a lunch ticket will be provided free of charge to all children. |
