YOUTH OUTDOOR ACTIVITY DAY
The Lloydminster and District Fish and Game Assoc. has always considered the importance of involving Youth and providing programs that will develop skills and interests in outdoor activities. Our motto – Youth are our future.
One of several programs that we are very proud of is entitled “Youth Outdoor Activity Day”
This activity day involves 50 boys and girls, ages 10 to 13 in four 1 1/2 hour sessions of instructions and activity and a noon barbeque lunch.
These instructional sessions are held each year on the last Saturday of June at our beautiful Gully Lake Site, 16kms east of Lloydminster and involves the following activities:
1) Wilderness camping skills – Pics 1A&B
– Hike into prepared wilderness campsite and shelter.
– No – trace camping, fire building.

2) Archery skills – Pics 2A&B
– Safety procedures and introductory skills.
– Target shooting at indoor facility.
3) Compass Orienteering – Pics 3A&B

4) Firearm Safety & Target Shooting – Pics 4A&B

5) Noon lunch – Pic # 5
6) Lloydminster Youth Centre – Pic #6

These groups exchange locations every 1 1/2 hour with a noon break for a barbequed lunch at our main Youth Centre Facility. Our Gully Lake property has 80 acres of beautiful wilderness terrain which lends itself to our outdoor activities.
Posters are placed in participating schools to advertise the programs along with procedures to pre-register which includes a payment of a $10.00 fee.
Bus transportation is provided to and from the site. An important part of the activity day is arriving back in town on schedule, meeting and involving the parents of the students, for group pictures and presentations to the students with scorecards and a souvenir of the day.
