In partnership with WHITETAILS UNLIMITED
Take an opportunity to spend 2 days, 1 night at Gardner Camp preparing for the bowhunting season. We will provide youth with hands-on, interactive shooting and field experience to ready themselves for bow season. Experienced instructors will take time teaching bowhunting field techniques – shot placement, blood trailing, game retrieval, tree stand safety, trail camera tactics, deer management, and more. Mixed in we will feature friendly competitions, plenty of time to interact with other campers with similar interests, and traditional camp activities.
FEATURED ACTIVITIES:
- SENIOR CAMPERS COMPETE FOR GARDNER CAMP HUNT - Based on the results of our 3-D tournament, senior campers are chosen to return to Gardner Camp for a 2-Day Bow Hunt during the 2023/2024 hunting season.
- 3-D ARCHERY RANGE- The camp will utilize our 10-target 3-D archery trail winding through the woods.
