Pennsylvania is blessed with a rich outdoor
heritage, and Youth Field Day programs have become a
well-established and eagerly anticipated local event throughout
much of Pennsylvania. Starting with one event in Venango County
back in 1991, the concept has expanded to numerous events in all
areas of the state. Our area program the:
SOUTHCENTRAL OUTDOORS for YOUTH is comprised
of sportsman and sportswomen in Adams and Cumberland Counties
who host two Youth Field Days FREE OF CHARGE for
hundreds of young people. The program offers the opportunity for
area youth to experience archery, fishing, target, clay bird and
black powder shooting, fly tying, predator calling, trapping and
other outdoor activities.
Our sole mission is to:
Introduce youth to wholesome
legitimate, life-long, outdoor recreational activities.
Instill in youth a relationship to
the land and the great outdoors.
Introduce youth to our natural
resources, and to be responsible stewards of our natural
resources.
The South Central Outdoors for Youth
program is backed by both The Pennsylvania Game
Commission and The Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission
along with other outdoor associations and individuals in
our area.
