🌲 Wild Kidz Summer Camp was one unforgettable week!
Twenty five kids spent five incredible days learning survival skills, archery, fishing, wetlands, raptors, and so much more.
By the end of camp, knowledge scores had climbed from 64% to 90%, and Range Day earned top honors as the campers' favorite activity.
A huge thank you to the BC Wildlife Federation Youth Team, our amazing club volunteers, and the families who supported the campers throughout the week.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out for our work party yesterday! 🏹💚 We had an amazing turnout of volunteers building and stuffing target boxes to help get archery ready for the new field. Your time and hard work are what make this happen!

Thank you to Catherine for the great photos!
