Discover Your Outdoors

An NWTF outdoor coach explains to a youth outdoor explorer participant how to clean a wild turkey. What would you have missed if someone hadn't shown you the outdoors and what it offers? Could you bait a hook, tie a knot, identify a tree, pitch a tent or flush a bird? Today's world is different but kids are the same – they're naturally curious, thirsty for adventure and always ready to explore.

Some of these activities offer instruction, tips and guidance from experienced outdoor coaches. Parents and guardians often find this assistance helpful because it provides knowledge they may not have.

The outdoors is still there. So take advantage of the special seasons, hunts, weekends and fishing activities listed here. They're designed to get you involved and kids interested. But they're meant to let you help a kid discover the joy of being outdoors.
